I was thinking i read on here about sight sponsers that sell Hb products. I would like to buy from those that help us. I am looking to get a Tm transducer and a switch that will let me use one unit and two Transducers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BBG Marine. Just give Brian a call and he will fix you up with what you need.
360
Get the 360 then you don't need another transducer or switch.
I wish, but money wont allow the 360. Besides i would have it knocked off where i fish. The alabama river is full of floating debris. Have enough trouble keeping foot on the outboard.
What 2 separate xducers are you thinking of running...??
*2 SI xducers with the HB TS3 switch...?
*Or 1 SI xducer and a 2d xducer with the AS SIDB Y cable...?
*Or 1 SI xducer and a DI xducer with the HB TS3 switch ...?

the 2 SI xducers with the switch.
The 899 comes stock with the XHS 9 SI 180 T compact SI xducer that operates at 83kHz/200kHz 2d and 455kHz SI...
The 899 can use the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T xducer which operates at 83kHz/200kHz 2d and 455kHz/800kHz SI...
There were some early reports of issues with the 800kHz frequency when using the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T at 800kHz SI on the 899...
I think this may have been fixed in some of the latest software versions...

I misquoted the xducer model that comes stock with the 899...Quote:

But I still think you would be more satisfied with the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T xducer...because of the additional 800kHz SI frequency ...and the fact that the longer piezoes should give better images...

Would I have to change settings every time I go from back xducer to front with the different kHz?
That would depend on the transducers you end up getting combined with the frequency you have the unit set to use. The only time this should be a problem though is if you use one XNT-9-Si-180-T Compact Side Imaging (CSi) transducer and one XHS-9-HDSi-180-T Hi-Def Side Imaging (HDSi) transducer and were using the 800kHz Si/Di sonar on the HDSi transducer and decided to change to the CSi transducer. You would have to set the Side Imaging Frequency menu setting. Any other Si to Si transducer change configuration would not require you to make a menu change – unless you just wanted to view a different frequency.
