Just pulled the trigger on a new garmin, it’s coming with a 52 transducer. My question is, is the 54 that much better? What am I gonna be missing?

The GT52 only does 455 and 800 kHz SideVu, and the GT54 adds the 1200 kHz UHD SideVu. You can compare the 2 on the Garmin website. The UHD 73SV should have come with the GT54 or GT56, wonder why you got a GT52?
It does! My mistake. Just wondering the difference in 54 and 56. Is it going to be much difference? ThanksQuote:

Use the compare tool at the website.
I have, doesn’t seem like much. I’m a 50 yr old that feels like a kid on Christmas Eve. Just wondered if anyone had any comments on the difference of the two. ThanksQuote:

Don't have a GT56, only a GT54. Maybe @Lwinchester can comment.
Consider that there are guys that could wear them out with a green box the 54 is probably sufficient.

Hey, I just try to answer the questions as asked.
I like the GT54UHD fine, not quite as good as my 'bird Mega SI, but way better than the GT52 I had previously on a 93sv Plus. Unfortunately, one side of the SV went out on the GT54UHD, and I had to return it to Garmin for warranty replacement. Been waiting almost 2 weeks for Garmin to ship me another one, and they said today they are OOS until mid-March, and same for the GT56. I don't like that one bit, so in the meantime I'm making do with PLS and the US2 2D transducer in my Minn Kota.
You'll get more info, and screen-shot pictures as well, on the BBC Garmin forum.
I had GT 52 on a unit and thought it was great. Upgraded units and have a UHD and now have the GT54, it is way better. Returns are awesome, eventually I will get the GT56, just not right now. Maybe the price will come down before I get ready to buy the GT56. I think it’s about 400 bucks.
