Did you know you can get 2d sonar from your Lowrance Active Target or your Garmin Livescope. Well you can without having to hook up to any additional transducer. Here are a few imanges from my AT2 yesterday. The 2d looks pretty good I think.Attachment 468482Attachment 468483Attachment 468484Attachment 468485

Interesting
I didn’t know this. Thanks for sharing
I didn't know this either.
How do you get the AT to display it?
I just went to the sonar page and chose AT as the source for sonar. I don't have any other transducer connected to my unit besides AT. Looks pretty good IMO.
I could even run a combo screen if I wanted with AT and 2d.
That is very interesting, I never would have imagined such a thing was possible. Do you have an option for displaying the forward distance as well as the depth using this option?
I think so on AT. Of course the 2d view would not show a forward range.
I will do a combo screenshot next time I'm out
Kinda looks like a Panoptix view.
what is " AT" ?
Good work Roy. I think there is a 4 pounder between those 2 structures.
“auto tuning”.
Some fish finders, such as the Lowrance one we mentioned above, have autotuning sonar settings. This means that there is a built-in sonar function that automatically adjusts your settings as you fish so that you get the most optimal image.
Active target I think. Lowrance speak for live scanQuote:

I have a rig setup using a Trolling Motor 2D Transducer on a stick hooked to a 999CI HD SI Humminbird first. Planning 2 tests today, one using Jigging Mode another using the largest display available of the RTS (Real Time Sonar) window. I want to see if structure direction can be determined using Legacy equipment. Garmin is dragging their feet on a answer of why their Panoptix PS-22TR transducers start freezing in less than a year when used regularly. When I get to about 200 hours the transducers start freezing. If this works I plan a video with instructions. Maybe we can fish without Livescope or other brands at $1500 a pop costs. I have numerous units of both brands to experiment with. Transducers too. Tired of high dollar equipment just used for direction of structure. For those who want to see the fish to place a jig in their mouth this won't work for them. Wouldn't it be nice to just flip a sonar transducer switch to change over to another view on the same display? If any kind of success a new thread in the Main will be posted so everyone sees it.
