Can you convert an elite 5 DSI to an elite 5? This has got to be the worst money I have spent fishing. Have elite 5 with GPS and it works great. I would use the DSI for an anchor, but its not big enough. Any ideas to make an elite 5 out of this thing?
Nope..
That's easy :yikesQuote:

I don't know why you'd want to dumb down a E5DSI & make it a E5 ... since the only major difference in the two seems to be the sonar kHz choice. The E5DSI has 455/800 kHz ... the E5 has 83/200 kHz. Are you sure you've got the E5DSI dialed in correctly, for the waters you fish & the type of fishing you do ?? Or is it that you just don't like the Down Imaging vs the broadband images ??
... cp :kewl
I just don't get any results with it. I have tried dial in and still don't get results. I have had unit on and off boat and from front to back. I took it off when I had a fishing trip and didn't use for a long time. I'm now trying it again, but it's off more than on. The screen has lines up&down and does follow the bottom, never showes fish. I have an e5 mounted above it and I like it. I would like to have another for front, but I already have to much money invested. Like I said this thing is the worse money I have spent for fishing.Quote:

(the green triangle under the boat is the thin slice DI beam)
