Is 50/200 Khz the only frequencies available in lowrance skimmers or TM mounts with temp sensor? I can't find a 83/200.
I been using the US2 but I am gonna install Ricky's Podunk stick and need a new transducer.

I just asked about that the other day, this is what I got.
HST-WSBL DUCER
The Mark 5 pro (dual beam) DF has 83/200
Crystals determine the frequency, the HDS only transmits/receives the frequency of the crystals internal to the transducer. I am skeptical of this.Quote:

all lowrance transducer s with dual frequency have DF as part of that transducer????
I can make the humminbird 83/200 work with my hds if I have to. I believe HB is good for 500 watts. Hope to just plug and play. ha
canepole, I have a HDS 7. The hst-wsbl is the transducer that is 83/200. The hst-dfsbl is the 50/200. both have blue connectors and both show water temperature. I think the 50/200 is mostly for deep and salt water. The 83/200 is for shallower water. This is on the Lowrance web site under transducers, page 2. Hope this helps, you have helped me many times and I thank you
I should tell you the transducers mentioned above are skimmer transducers. The pod mount is a PDT-WBL and also has the blue connectors. I think this is on page 3.
Thanks. I read up on what they are doing with this transducer to get the 2 frequencies.Quote:

Yes. That is why I need another 2d transducer. I have been using the US2 on the MK V2.Quote:

I intend to do so. Any reason not to?Quote:

You must be using the reverse picture function for the SI/DI transducer position.
Yes I am you can flip right in the SS menu
