I was watching 3 lb. crappie about the Helix . For searching brush tops he said to use 800 k setting . my GEN 1 has 83,200, or 83/200 . which should I use ?

What is the full model number of your Helix unit .... is it 2D/GSP only or SI / DI? The 800 Khz is a DI or SI setting.
The 200/83 is a 2D setting. 200 would be for the most detail and 83 would be for more coverage area.
It is a SI model but no choices given on the gen1 but it has no 800 choice . The question is which is better while searching the 200 or the 83/200 ?Are you loosing anything in going with them combined or using the 200 or the 83 ?Quote:

In all Sonar technologies ...:

*Lower frequency give more coverage with less detail ...

In the 2d Sonar frequency choices - 83/200kHz gives a blended view of the wider 83kHz Sonar cone and the narrower 200kHz Sonar cone in the same 2d image ...

May need to upgrade the transducer. Believe the Helix 9 SI GPS (Gen1) model came with the compact transducer (XNT 9 SI 180 T).
