Is that a 2d chirp screen kosmo?
yesQuote:

So my onix will have chirp capability as soon as I'm updated or will another transducer or module need to be bought?
Your ONIX will have the capability to transmit the medium and high CHIRP sweep frequency range thru it's own stock xducer ...Quote:

Thanks for the update. In your post #3, there is a Chirp Frequency menu drop down with a selection labeled "Generic 83/200". Do you know if this means that you can chirp thru a standard 2d sonar transducer like the US2 in a terrova? Or does "Generic" mean a non HB chirp only transducer? I was under the impression that Onix processed 2D sonar from the Onix transducer differently than non Onix, but I could be mistaken. (I often am). Also, I am able to use the US2 transducer with the Onix, so maybe the processing technology is the same for both transducers.
Am glad HB did this upgrade, but I still haven't seen any web based screen shots or videos of "chirped" 2D images that are close to the quality of an Onix DI image for the same spot.
Unfortunately, I wont be able to use my Onix until early May, but in the interim, am looking forward to seeing what others are experiencing with the Onix chirp & other elements in the 2.7 Onix update.
I'm not sure about which transducers can be used. I used the chirp today with the stock transducer. I've got a lot to learn. So far, the fixed frequency out performed the actual chirping for me today. I've got some pictures to post and a short video. That I'll post later.Quote:

I'm curious about your thought here Bob ...??Quote:

Rickie ..... I just scanned it too fast and missed that .....He must have done it the way I suggested.
I'm just thinking about the ability to select a frequency that fits a coverage area you want .... or to just prevent interference. I don't think the Onix pings the 200Khz all the time ....but not sure about that.
I also wonder if the Helix 12 still pings 200 all the time if the same thing is done.....I know it pings 200khz all the time if it isn't chirping.
Ricki's, correct. Thats why I posted the different fixed frequency shots. Bob, you can run the full sweep single or dual, all together or set at any fixed ban you want. For example, you can set medium chirp to 80 and not use the high chirp or you could set high chirp to 202 only. At the top of the 2d view, there's and option to run both at the same time 80/202. You can choose any fixed frequency, within the stock transducers range.(All of the pictures that I posted are fixed frequency. So far I haven't liked what I've seen, using the chirping mold (fixed frequencies are definitely better than 83/200.) I'll try again tomorrow, depending on the weather, to see what I can get the chirp to do.Quote:
