No, I have an old 788 and a new 788. The old one will read in tenths, the new one will only read above one and a half mph. I called the factory to see if I could pay to get them to recalibrate the new unit and was told it couldn't be done. They said they were all different and there was not any hardware or program that would fix the problem. Numbers appear on the screen but they jump all over the place, constantly changing. I also asked the reps at the Grizzly Jig event and they said I might try this or that but it might not fix the problem. Yall know for a fact that the 998 or the 1198 will read at trolling speeds. For me usually two to six tenths. I know they stopped making the 788 about a year ago. I will buy a 998 to fix the problem if that's the only option I have.
