I agree on the cool part! Look out Kosmo, I have a 360 to mount next weekend! Hopefully I'll be able to contribute some good pics!! Any insight to help with the learning curve? Pm me if you don't want to hijack your own thread!

I pretty much run mine on the 3 setting for speed and run out around 100 ft.and just zoom in an out as needed and adjust sensitivity as needed.the 360 pretty much does the rest.you'll like it, I'm sure
(I follow my way points until I see them on the 360.then I just use the 360 to move in to fish.works great)

kosmo a fish aint got a chance with you on the water :Rofl

Great shots bud!

Thanks Kosmo, should have shots and questions next weekend!

Good shots Kosmo. :ThumbsUp

Nice images.


Regards

I'm still learning the 360 and big time appreciate your posts and comments. They give me hope that I can make good use of the modern equipment soon.
Thanks for sharing.

looks great komos

Keep this in mind, the the works great, but don't be expecting those real pretty pictures that your used to with si.
Don't run the 360 to slow.theres times when you can run it on the slowest setting and get a lot clearer picture, but you will need to reduce the range quite a bit.
For me the fastest setting is just to fast and really distorts everything enough that I don't use it.
the 3 &4 work best for me (with the onix, the speeds are 1 through 5.with the core units, there named)
The only other advise I can offer, is to always keep the sensitivity as low as you can stand it.you will keep wanting to turn it up to much, or at least that what I kept doing at first . you'll see after a while that less is better.
(Don't have any other 455 kHz pinging while the 360 is running,800 kHz is ok)

Kosmo:

TKS for the words of widsdom, we will absolutely follow your advice.

There's some fish in structure that didn't survive....http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pswdoicxhl.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psmkzybuay.jpg

Nice shots Kosmo! Thanks for the advice above, I now understand less is more! Played with the 360 this weekend, I will be posting some screen shots, as soon as I get up to speed!

You no what I mean. More or rotflless:lhttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps7mo5oqqb.jpg

My first contribution Kosmo! Not as nice pics as yours but I am getting the job done. I keep forgetting to get some quality snapshots!
Less is more still applies!

looks good....those lines in the 360 look like like sonar interference

Kosmo, I'm fighting the same thing on my 998c SI at times that is showing up in Redge's snap. Not sure why ..... I'm only getting it some of the time. I only run one unit with a transducer switch for transom to TM. So when I switch it to the front the back transducer should not be pinging. HB tells me that the software should turn the SI/DI off when I select the 360 view. I'm going to have to play with this more and try to find out what is going on.

PS .... nice fish Redge

I had stopped the TD PInging on the 1198, and when you turn on the 360 pinging it turns off the 959 TD, therefore I am at a loss. Dedicated twisted pair to cranking battery nothing else on that set of wires.

Thanks Rdjj

seems like, the best I remember, when my 998 did that, I would turn it off then back on and it would clear.i believe that for some reason the si pinging would not shut off automatically when the 360 deployed.(also, while I'm thinking about it.its probably not a good ideal to have your unit set on 800khz when you deploy the 360) there's a software bug there

On my onix, I can disable the pinging manually.i can also use the 800khz on si and or di, which is very useful.this cannot be done on the core units.

Me and Jordan Limit are having the same problem with the wierd lines showing up on the 360 off and on.
It comes and goes so never a major issue, also we now turn the Onix on and off to bring SI back when occasionally the SI shows a blank screen.
Hopefully these strange events will be corrected in future updates.

I think that your issue is not the same as redge.the hummingbird core units are ssupposed to automatically turn pinging off to si/did when the 360 starts pinging.at times, for some reason this fails to happen.a restart seems to fix this.with the onix , this shouldn't be an issue , because this can be done manually by selecting 455khz
off or switching to 800khz .
The issue you described with the si screen going black sometimes, should not be happening if your running the current software on your onix
(Or at least, I have not had this happen on my unit)

Kosmo, in your 360 snap posted above can you explain why the center ring is labeled 20 (I think this would be set for boat length) but in the upper right corner the Ring is listed as 25.5ft.

I have a transom mounted 360, hooked to an onix 10.the 20ft. ring is the offset I have chosen to use (on hummingbird core units, the offset is displayed as a line with blue dot at the end.the range rings would be displayed every 25.5 feet , for this particular range, that I have set, but I have turned, range rings off.

http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps39372a4a.pnghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psb8096928.jpghere's the range rings on.theres three stake beds (that other object is a duck blind, that's out of range) that I had my boat setting in the middle, when I took the snapshot.using the range rings, how far would you say that the boat is from the stake beds???

That's a very good representation of what stakes beds would look like on 360 ...

Good info kosmo ...

Rickie

Kosmo, it looks like you have the "Contour" ON so the center of the one at 12 o'clock would be ~ 58 ft. the one at 2 o'clock center is ~ 73 ft. and the one at 6:30 center ~ 45 ft. HB told me that with Contour on the 360 calculates the Horizontal distant to the object.

Thanks for the explanation on your Onix 360. I always have my rings turned "ON" so have not seen that. I do have my off-set at my boat length on my 360 TM. That way if I am parallel to the bank or cover I have a good idea where the cover is to boat if I'm casting to it.

In the picture above, with those stake bads, we're would the first range ring be located if the depth was 21 ft.?(contour off)

With Range set at 115ft the first ring is always going to be 29ft. and the water column would be a circle (if flat bottom) that would equal 21ft. ( 8ft inside the 29ft ring )

Attachment 180483

Rdjj and Kosmo your making my head hurt! Let me know what you all decide about the contour off so I don't have to think about it! LOL

I cut the power on my 360 to 6 volts.
I really only want a 180 anyway!

Which 180???? North, South, East or West ...................................

Pictures from today.......http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psl88giuqx.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psir4ffscx.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pstzdv63af.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psdxsthvhp.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps0jhauqfq.jpghttp://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...pss6ctjtce.jpg

Glad you got out today Kosmo! I like the looks of those fish in the last 4 pics! Did you bring any home ?

Couldn't find them today.mostly yellow stripes and not many of them either

Glad it's not just me, some days are like that! Still beats working.
