Helix 9 network Question
If two Helix 9 units are networked together one is a DI without SI capability the other is a Helix 9 with SI capability.
Can the Helix 9 without SI, display a SI image from the Helix 9 with SI ?

Most things I've read say this question is still untested with certainty ...
I have read reports that the DI unit can display the SI image (but with limited menu adjustments) ...
As soon as I can find info ... I will add to this thread ..
Maybe someone here has both and can verify for us ...

Thanks Ricki, That information will determine which unit I would buy if I decide to add a second one to my boat.

Fishfood has done some testing and verified that the non SI Helix DI unit can see the SI from an SI unit ..... There is a problem trying to do it the other way around, however.........The SI unit cannot share the dedicated DI transducer for the DI unit.

That is some good information to have... thanks for the share of the information!

Simply put, yes. You can view the SI on the DI unit. You're basically viewing and controlling the SI from the DI unit. The SI imaging will be pulled from the SI transducer. You may also read the DI unit from your SI unit. Just don't forget to pull your trolling motor up before you take off!

The first part of that is correct and a very good explanation of how this works .....When it comes to viewing DI from a dedicated DI unit on a SI unit, however, there have been problems with that working...I believe it is a bug.Originally Posted by jaoeyp

Thanks Bob;
That is the kind of additional information that I and anyone else reading this thread need to know. If I purchased a second unit I could save about $235.00 by getting a Helix 9 without SI. But, I don't want to find out after the fact that I should have bought the more expensive SI unit. I realize part of that higher price is because of the transducer differences.

To be able to view SI on the Di unit is this achieved with a Ethernet cable connecting the 2 and if so what do you do in your settings to accomplish this?
? #2- can you view Si off of a helix 9 si unit onto a 859 DI unit?
