    these are comparison shots of the Airmar 165 hw vs xnt 14 HW. Settings are the exact same on both units. One is a Gen 2 and the other is Gen 1 Transducers are transom mounts about 2 1/2' apart. The fish are mostly small stripers about 17-20". The y splitter cable does work with airmar 165 hw.

    Great comparison. The Airmar seems to show a little better detail in separation of the fish when they were clustered compared to the XNT. Guessing you were getting some crosstalk with both units transmitting.

    Thanks for posting. Wes

    I think the images from both transducer look good. What is the price difference between the two?
