WOW!!!!
Is there a comparison of the same pics in each freq?
Looks good, when?
The web page shows December.
Not that I know of Mike ...Quote:

Notice the frequencies in the images ...
1200kHz CHIRP fixed and 1175Khz - 1275kHz CHIRP sweep ...

Sounds like they aren't really charging a lot more for it, but it will be interesting to see an actual user post comparison non-marketing shots. Getting back into the boat game (small scale) once i get into my new house, so I will be looking for a single unit with a modest price. All brands welcome :)Quote:

Look's great. There is no where a fish can hide anymore. The dedicated DI will be hard to resist compared to the blended I'm use to.
These two pictures were taken by doug vahrenberg...http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps2wecslrj.jpg http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...ps2loewre5.png that 360 was from his 1198

I can't find much specs yet ... except this ...
CHIRP/Side Imaging/Down Imaging/DualBeam PLUS
455kHz Side Imaging provides 800 ft of side to side coverage.
455kHz Down Imaging works to a depth of 400 feet.
1.2 MHz Side Imaging provides 250 feet of side to side coverage.
1.2 MHz Down Imaging works to a depth of 125 feet

Anyone know if the price points for the new Mega units are going to be comparable with Gen 1 units. Have an 899 si at console and was just looking to add a bow mount to hook up to my MK us/2 on bow. If price comparable maybe I upgrade console and just hookup 899si head unit on bow. Glad to see the Helix 7's now can be networked....

:dono:dono:donoI've been thinking about this new transducer.The talk is that it going to have separate Piezo elements for mega scanning and the regular kHz ,that were all used to.side and diwn imaging.seems to me that that transducers going to be pretty crowded,with all that in there.Also seems to me,if that transducer is a low Q transducer,it would be pretty expensive to bulit? ? dono:yikesQuote:

1 temp probe ...
I have found no info on Q factor yet ...

Not for sure that this transducer even exist .no one seams to have actually seen it.:yikes
It will be interesting to see how 1200khz and trolling motor pulse modulation play together?rotflQuote:

Time will tell!
Sounds good.hope your right,but the 800kHz ,for me was more of and issue with rf than all of the othersQuote:

But 1200KHz is an "odd" multiple so let's hope for the best.
I'm sure you'll have one long before I will, my budget is tapped out for the foreseeable future due to employer policy changes.
I'll keep playing the lottery though.
There's no mega on the di units.most likely a di unit would be used at the bow ,with the transducer mounted on the trolling motor. (Could be the reason for there not being mega):dono:dono:dono
Yep - the Mega SI units are thought to have a dedicated DI element for all 3 MSI sizes, Rickie & I had a discussion about that.
It seems they have 2 different XDCRs listed on HB's site - but Rickie's contact said there's only one.
Doug Vahrenberg is supposed to get some MSI XDCR pics up soon.
My contact said he will ask the engineers and get back with me ...Quote:

I will be glad when we have the rest of the valid info on the Mega xducer(s) ...

Me too!
Any ideals as to what this is,in the circled area? http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psmwmirlyd.jpg
Looks like there is something on the bridge.I circled it.what does it look like to you?http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/z...psnvcslasb.jpg
I'm not up to speed on sailing ship rigging, but my guess is that it may be anchor rigging.

No Biggie, just keeping things honest?Quote:
