    Default Yellowfin Update


    Has anyone heard whether Yellowfin has updated their program. I read in May that if you have a 997, do not update because the Yellowfin would not work. Any word on update compatibility?

    I got the latest firmware on my 997. I have XP Pro operating system with SP3 and netframe 3.5. Yellowfin works fine for me.

    Cane Pole, thanks for the info. Trying to respond for two days, but system seemed to slow down.

    I will download the update tomorrow and give it a try.

    Good fishing.

    Default Yellowfin

    There was an update on my account area of HB for Vista. Downloaded to my unit, but have not been able to get back on the water this week. I am learning and have not tryed Yellowfin. Watching the threads to learn.

    The problem is with the HBSI file converter, not Yellow fin.

    HBSI converts HB .son files to Yellowfin .872 files

    I have several computers/operating systems

    My observations:

    Latest HB firmware works with HBSI on systems OS XP Pro, OS XP tablet.
    Will not work with OS Vista yet. Not on my Vista system anyway.
