Thread: Stand alone DI for SI units

Maybe HB can come out with a dedicated DI xducer setup for our units that is plug and play.

There is a little history that kinda explains how this technology unfolded like it did...

*HB came out with SI in 2005 (I think)...
*Lowrance came out with SS/DS in Nov 2009...
*HB saw the possible limitations of having the SI piezoes and the DI piezo in the same xducer housing and decided to instead come out with a software update to allow the SI units to show the "DI from SI"...in Jan 2011...
*HB came out with "Dedicated DI" units in late 2011...because they still saw the limitations of having the SI piezoes and the DI piezo in the same xducer housing...

Will HB ever come out with a xducer that has both the SI piezoes and the DI piezo in the same xducer housing....not until science figures out how to overcome the limitation of both technology's piezoes that close together....because they refuse to hinder the HB shallow water SI performance....with an added DI piezo...

Of course all of this is just my opinion...(except the dates are correct)..
