September 16, 2014 at 6:54 pm #1455507the unit also runs Android apps, movies, and games.
Just wondering….. can you load movies or other DVR’d shows from the Dish Hopper to the Marcum for later playback? I could see some interesting pranks coming with that.
September 16, 2014 at 8:42 pm #1455541Awesome!! Way To Go Marcum.Does It Plug Into Universal Sonar On Minn Kota trolling motors? That Is My Only Complaint About The Lx7.STill impressive
September 16, 2014 at 8:53 pm #1455545Just think, in a couple years, that’ll be ancient technology.

October 14, 2014 at 11:17 pm #1463921So seeing it is a full touch screen does it work with gloves on? Or would a guy have to remove his gloves to flip through menus/features?

The RT9 works with gloves on. No need to take them off. The display has also been engineered to ignore water droplets, drips, etc., so use in wet conditions won’t weird out the display like is the case with other ruggedized tablets.

Yes, you can load up movies to watch later or you could stream them from YouTube or Netflix. Anything an android tablet can do the RT9 can do as well.

If a guy already has the LX-9 will the camera, ice transducer, and open water transducer work for the RT-9
October 15, 2014 at 9:40 am #1463999James,

Yes on all accounts.
October 18, 2014 at 12:31 am #1464995PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS FEATURE ON THE RT9:
See multiple ice-fishing holes on a single display with the dual-beam digital sonar module– So does this mean we can connect up to 3 ice transducers and the RT9 will be able to display from each one on the same screen?
October 18, 2014 at 9:09 am #1465051Yes, the rt9 has 3 data ports. You can use any combination of transducers or camera heads

The RT9 has three data ports. An RT9 user can run a combination of sonar and cameras but you cannot run 3 transducers or 3 cameras at the same time. 2 of any one accessory is the max.
October 18, 2014 at 1:07 pm #1465115Go with what James stated. I went with the info that was given to me from the Rapala Rep at a trade show. He didn’t seem confident to me in some of his answers, so I think he may have made an assumption
October 19, 2014 at 10:49 pm #1465413How does the Navionics feature work on it? Seeing it has an android platform can you just purchase Navionics on the Google Play store or do you need to purchase a SD card/chip or the software for a PC?

Both. Either. You can buy the Navionics app through the Play Store or the RT9 can run Navionics chips if you prefer that option.

WOO HOO! This mean in a couple of years when the little man wants a flasher I can buy one and he and the little brother can share it! Save some money in the long run! But by then they will have something even better out I’m sure! Way to go!
October 20, 2014 at 3:34 pm #1465695Just think, in a couple years, that’ll be ancient technology.
Only because of the amount of technology in it…
In a few years when this is outdated, the Marcum VX1 will still be selling for over $200.
October 20, 2014 at 5:04 pm #1465726I see that the modular camera is an additional $549, kind of crazy for just the camera itself…. What about the pack/carrying case does it come with a carrying pouch that is detachable like on the LX-9?
August 21, 2015 at 12:10 am #1560645How come these are not on the Marcum site /not being heavily marketed…??? Issues with the product? Anyone know?
August 21, 2015 at 6:50 am #1560655It’s my understanding that there are some patent issues. I’m sure someone could chime in and elaborate a little more.
August 21, 2015 at 7:03 am #1560658Licensing agreements were the last thing I heard that was a hold up. Not on Marcum’s end, but other vendors. I was really hoping to see this out by now.
August 21, 2015 at 9:28 pm #1560846Weird because they did make it to retail… Saw them at Scheels in Fargo last fall…

I bet a Sasquatch riding a unicorn helped you carry your pail of fish to feed the Lock Ness monster too???

I’m not sure if they actually made it to retail but I am positive that retailers did in fact have demos to show off. Thorne Bros had one.
August 22, 2015 at 2:25 pm #1560882Lay off the drugs c_w… Not even sure what you were trying to accomplish with that post…?
