Thread: Not showing fish

Rickie, I have complained about the slow (below-setpoint) chart speed in 2D when I have 2D/360 screen up. I have "jigging mode" ON. I called HB and they said it was to minimize crosstalk, I don't understand how I would have that much from (2D) 200kHz to (360) 455kHz. But that's what the said. As soon as I turn 360 "off" chart speed is back to normal setpoint speed on the same page 2D/360. Any ideas on this? I have a 999ci HD SI running 7.650 software.

That answer doesn't make sense to me either ... 200kHz and 455kHz wouldn't crosstalk ...
-----

It seems I'm faintly remembering someone else posting about the Chart speed slowing down when 2d/360 is viewed ...

I'll see if I can did it up ...

Have you tried the different "Beam Select" menus (200kHz - 200kHz/83kHz) to see if the Chart speed reacted the same ...??

My 998 will do the same thing.my onix will do it also,but it's not near as noticeable.

I like the way my units show 2d/di,while the 360 is running and my boat is moving slightly.Turn the 360 off while moving this slow.the scroll will increase and the screen on 2d and DI will be strectched,becoming hard to interpret.

Rickie, I think I tried 200/83 with the same result, will test again.

Kosmo, I see what you mean. One thing I noticed is you are using 800kHz on your DI. With my 999ci if I turn 800kHz "ON" it blows the 360 to white all the way till 0-1 sensitivity. HB told me I can't use 800kHz with 360 and they are aware of this issue. I thought the 360 was probably set to max of 455kHz but it must be set by what you select (455 or 800) so if I want to use 800kHz I then have to go to menu and turn it off before turning my 360 on.

I'm getting so discouraged with HB and my 999ci SI - software 7.650 issues. It has bugs and problem all over the place. I keep sending my issues to HB but have no idea when they will be working on getting them fixed. I wish they would have at least got the "now discontinued" xxx9 core units software working correctly before they moved on to the Helix. They seem to have forgot about all the loyal HB customers that still own one of the core units.

I moved most of this subject to "Side/Down Imaging" It had got to far off subject for this thread. New Thread: 2D/360 chart speed, jigging mode, 999ci SI 7.650 software
