word I get is hds imaging module will be available sooner than november. that would be a first for lowrance to start selling a new product before (not long after) a stated date.

for other posts, with the new down scan tech, 2d sonar is prolly not dead and may have new life. used together, looks like down scan picture can show if targets are structure, and broadband 2d dsp sonar separates fish out as arches. that’s never been done before. potentially good for me, not good for fish.

check loose spare wires at hook-up end of your hds power cable, those for nmea 0183 (see manual). if exposed/touching/grounding could cause directional issues with internal gps antenna. so i’m told. no prob so far for me but i taped them.
