i just order a 997 csi and i called 10 different suppliers and they all said it came with a 16 channel gps .but all the new 700 sereis said they had a 50 channel

All 2009 models of the 798,997 & 1197 come with the standard 50 channel receiver(not hi accuracy model 50). Now U know why HB website is not updated yet cause if it was U would of realized somebody is selling U a 2008 model-old stock on hand @ 2009 pricesHope U got some vaseline Still same model as no changes made to 997 for 09,but same stuff that folks here have had with buying Yama motors selling made in 2006-07 as 08 & 09 models..ain't right..

This doesn't make any sense to me. The 798 wasn't really being sold in 2008. Since the 798 and 788 are both 2009 models that come with the 50 channel reciever, I'm not sure how you think someone is getting fooled by paying for an old model. If anyone is paying retail like at BassPro to buy one of these units, he's the only one getting fooled and needing Vaseline.

Anyone who would buy at BPS or Cabela's intead of Jandhproducts online store is throwing money out the window.

go online to jnh or three rivers,or hummingbird factory outlet, gps .com ,capelos, bass pro they all say they come with the 16 channel gps.actually the hummingbird factory outlet store had the best price .now once it gets hear it may have the 50 channel gps in it i dont know

You beat me to it! Yep, there are two 50 channel receivers. The high accuracy does not come standard with any model.

Did you actually go to the Jandhproducts website and look at the 798 and 788c combos? They both say 50 channel. Cabelas and Bass pro have it wrong, and you should probably go to the store and look at the box. The box for the 788c that I have list it as precision 50 channel, so no it's not the High Accuracy 50 channel, but it stands to reason that if you're using 50 channels, it is going to be quite a bit more accurate then 16 channels based on the calculations that the unit would do.

If humminbird would update their blasted website, you'd see what actually comes with the units.

If you want me to take a picture of the 788c Box, I'm more then happy to do so.

Sorry DEDAWG, if you are discussing only the 997, then this isn't directed at you. Although JandH for the 997 is like 20.00 cheaper. And that hummingbird factory outlet is not actually affiliated with humminbird as near as I can tell. They have complaints filed against them with the BBB. I checked them out a couple years ago, when I was deciding on the 797.
