Looking at the new BP catalog, the New for 2015
Elite 7x Chirp with 83/200/455/800 (sonor only) $549.99.
Elite 7 Chirp 83/20/455/800 $699.99.
I believe the non-x unit has the HDI transducer, the x unit does not.
So, the new Elite 7 for 2015 adds chirp built in but, uses the same transducer as the older, non-chirp units.
I could be wrong?
Both have the HDI transducer as they both have 83/200(sonar)-455/800(DI) KHz listed. The non-HDI transducer would be 83/200(sonar) only. The difference between the two you have listed is the X is non GPS therefor no chart plotting or way points. Still about $150 more for the CHIRP over the non-CHIRP like I have. They have so many models of the Elite brand that it can be confusing. I even seen the GPS version with just sonar only. Who would do that??? If I'm forking out that type of money I'm forking out a little bit more to get DI too.
