Here or a new thread?
I would hope Brett will start a new thread with an appropriate title ...so that the search function can find it easier down the road...Quote:

Yes, start a new thread
I think he is too worried about chirp to even catch a breathe right now
I got chirp fever, and the only cure is pricey!
I think the guys at THT have you the best advice possible from guys that actually know about CHIRP and it's benefits...Quote:

And their advice is straight forward...if you decide to invest in the CHIRP xducer (close to $1400 just for the 175W CHIRP xducer)...you might see a negligible improvement at your target fishing depths...

No one has the TM150 CHIRP xducer yet that I've seen to test it for performace ...
The jury is still out on CHIRP imaging...(like Garmin is claiming)...because very few have any experience with it yet...

That's why I'm contemplating 2 actions.
1. Sell the 9 Touch, get my money out of it, buy a Garmin 840xs or 741, Units made for chirp, with 2 yr warranty.
Or
2. Get the lowrance sonarhub and add it to the 9 Touch
Moving to new Garmin is cheaper than trying to upgrade the Touch, with the selling of the Touch factored in.
I've seen pics from a Garmin owner, the downvu pics are stunning.
Likely worth all this effort
Brett, I finally got someone to talk about their Garmin. He said the shallow SI was on par with Lowrances, he said it was real good up & clear up close but then got blurry past 60' or so. I asked if it was better than Lowrance overall and he said it was about the same. He didn't comment on the DI.
