Hummingbird Helix 5 Ice Interference

I’ve been getting a lot of interference on my Helix 5 Ice. What do I have to change to get it better. I have my sensitivity at 11 and noice filter at high 1, is the only way I can see my bait at 25 feet in not that cloudy of water. Thanks

This must be a gen 1 unit right? I could not wipe out interference from other units with my gen 1 helix so I went back to my flasher. The new g2 chirp units are supposed to be a lot better at getting rid of it. Maybe adjust the cone angle to the narrow beam.

I have had zero problems fishing next to other units with helix 5 gen 2. It is a amazing machine. I had the lowrance elite 5 ice machine for 4 years prior and the helix unit with chirp is so much better!!

Sounds good Thanks

Changed to cone angle and works great now. Thanks

before you adjust the noise filter on a g1, try adjusting the surface clutter setting and increasing/decreasing your max depth….make sure you are in advanced mode

The interference can be tough to clear out on g1 units. Mat has some good tips. I am so sick of playing with the settings on the g1 every time someone turns on their unit I am about ready to upgrade. This weekend I was fishing next to a new 7 and he didn’t have one problem.

I have never been able to remove clutter more than about 75% on my G1 5, no matter what I tried. Used mine all weekend next to my FLX28 and buddies Ice-35 (before the motor died) and it did OK. I’ve noticed that the clutter is easier to deal with when not in flasher mode, so I no longer have that screen visible.

yep much easier to deal with in graph mode…thats why I really like my di helix 5, if I have interference on the 200khz beam I just switch over to 455khz. I supposed you can do that with the 83/200khz models as well but that 60* 83khz beam is way wide. That said, I’ll still be getting a g2 chirp next season to play with – they’re just too cool to not have one.
