Anyone know anything about CHIRP? I was goin to buy the regular hdi but this chirp looks alot better. Is it worth the extra 100 dollars? From what ive read it sounds realy good.

Buy it so we can get a report!
All you ever wanted to know about CHIRP...
http://www.thehulltruth.com/marine-e...explained.html
CHIRP has been in the blue water market for some time because of the CHIRP technology's capability to get good target separation at deeper depths...
Companies are just now experimenting with offering CHIRP in the shallower fresh water market...
Time will tell if there is a distinct advantage with CHIRP over regular tone burst sonar technology in our water's enviroments...
Interesting for sure...

Based on Ricki's comment about deep water target separation, if you fish deep, then it could help, but apparently its unproven in shallower water.
Thanks Rickie! (i think?) i might be even more confused by all that technical stuff. From what i read in the final summary it works better in shallow water (less than 100ft) with the transducer being used. I think im goin to bite the bullet and buy it someone has to be the guinea pig. I will give a review once i get it installed and the lakes decide to thaw.

I feel we should all chip in to help with this experiment.
Where can Rickie send a check?
I send minners...not checks...:yikesQuote:

Come on Rickie, let a brother hold a dollar.
That goes into great detail, but here it is in more simple terms,Quote:

But the fact is what you see on the screen will not look much different than what you see on the screen now, if you see any difference at all.
Lowrance Broadand sonar is hard to beat, but you can spend a lot of money trying!!!
Rickie,
You have earned the respect of many that seek your wise counsel.
Now, make your reputation complete by sending a check to this worthy cause.
Much rides on your actions!
And yes, let a brother hold a dollar,lol.
It's not a handout.
It's a helpful hand up.
AND it may be tax deductible!
I'd also like to offer my services as a charity bundler. Send me the check.
I'll see it gets to the property account!
I'd rather barter...Quote:

Chirp can only be better, it definitely won't show a worse image no matter what the depth. You are getting many more returns, with less lag in between. If the regular sonar looks like this < < <. Then Chirp will return like this <<<<<<<. It is more info processed to produce a better image. I think it will excel for the ones who like DI and SI at slower speeds such as on the trolling motor. It may even get returns back at faster speeds also. I wish I could afford the 10 inch or any of the Garmin Chirp units.
