Thread: down imaging help with HB 899

I have an 899 and that issue drove me nuts. I am in a kayak so scroll speed of 2 or 3 is great for me but with sharpness on I got same as you. After installing Version 7.460 that issue is gone for me. That was the first thing I checked after doing upgrade.


Regards

This is interesting ...

I wonder if all current models have this version fix for the DI Sharpness issue ...

Good question Rickie but I don’t see it listed in the software change notes for the 7.460 or any newer software versions.

I thought that I had posted this earlier today but I guess it did not make it through.
Got confirmation that the problem with the DI sonar (using Chart Speed 2 and Sharpness) was fixed in software version 7.460 but it somehow did not manage to get into the release notes. So all Si models running 7.460 or higher should not have this problem.

LOL They do seem to be getting their act together with the software development .... If they keep it up, they will have me in their camp for the rest of my fishing days.

While this is true - the original "problem" cropped up whilst we were playing with the SI logarithms and these have also been hand massaged with the "Jigging Mode" replicating the "old style" SI transceiver sequencing.
I would have expected a change, if not a "fix".
