    Default Helix 9 Transducers


    I have a gen 1 Helix 9 SI/GPS. The transducer my unit came with is a 200/83/455khz. Can I use the XHS 9 HDSI transducer to get 800khz frequency?

    Absolutely ...

    Change the Connected Transducer selection to "Hi-Def SideScan" to get the 800kHz frequency selection ...

    BTW... You can actually change the Connected Transducer selection to "Hi-Def SideScan" and get the 800kHz frequency selection with the compact SI xducer attached to the HELIX 9 ...

    But the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T will give better 800kHz because the XNT 9 SI 180 T is not really tuned for the 800kHz ...

    Oh cool, I'll have to try that.

    XHS 9 HDSI 180 T transducer is the best upgrade option correct?

    Unfortunately no cuzzin ...

    The HELIX Sonar models don't have any SI transmitters in the head unit ...

    It is possible to display SI on the HELIX Sonar models when the Sonar model is Ethernet connected to x99 or newer SI unit ...
