Thread: 6.310 vs 6.600 in the 455kHz and 800kHz frrequencies

As I was out testing the new HB AS GPS HS antenna Saturday...I took some comparison snapshots of the same structure at the same boat speed (same settings except for frequency) using the 6.310 version software and the 6.660 version software....

I had read reports on the forums that HB had made some changes in the 6.600 to make the SI/DI images better....

Two things I have learned about comparing snapshot images ...:

1. Which setting/software version/frequency gives the best images is dependant on what each individual perceives as better....what I think gives a better image may not be what the next guy thinks gives a better image....

2. Snapshots .PNG images that are viewed on the pc always look better than viewing the snapshots on the unit...(pixel density difference in the monitors I would guess)....

Note...This is probably also the reason why the comment continues to pop up...."why can't I get images like I see on the internet...??" ...(pixel density of the monitor being used to view the snapshots...)

The only discernable difference I could see while viewing the snapshots on my unit was that the 6.660 software version at 800kHz seemed just "a tad" sharper.....

But when I view the snapshots on my pc...the 6.310 at 800kHz seems better....

These different factors are why I always caution people to not get caught up in the "my images are better than your images" debate...(there's just too many variables to judge apples to apples....)
