    Some refurb 12’s for sale with the 3-1 ducer for around $1,300 with a decent warranty. If they’d run my ghost, I’d get one; but doesn’t sound like they will do that.

    After searching for hours, I’m thinking they might be an elite ti1. But this one does have an Ethernet port, so it’s like a hybrid???

    Goxe have full touchscreen, Ti1 only touch-pannel , Go12 have flat GPS antenna- Hds Live take it from Simrads.. This two features + Ai3 transducer placed Go xse higher than Ti1.
    Only one sonar-port- yes, just like Ti.
    Simrad don't released 20.0 software, for Go12 exist only 18.3 version. So, I don't know what they planning with Ghost on Simrad units, Motorguide TM are compatybile with Simrads not so long.

    I think the Go12 can do Forwardview, if that matters to you

    It does say that it takes forward scan.

    The price is right on them, IF they will work with the ghost; but I have a feeling that may be 1 step behind on the software to do that.

    GO XSE with Ethernet and GO XSR are based on NSS Evo2. The buttons and dial are removed, the Ethernet is limited to radar and waypoint synchronization. And it has only one transducer connector. The touch controller is less advanced than Evo2 (more susceptible to malfunction if wet). The max sonar transmit power is a bit lower than Evo2. All GO XSE and XSR have single core processors, 7 and 9" Evo2 has single core as well but 12" Evo2 has dual core. There are also some differences when it comes to the amount of RAM for different models both for GO and Evo2.

    HDS Gen3 is the Lowrance model which is most similar to NSS Evo2.

    Based on the information I have GO7 XSR, GO9 XSE and GO12 XSE will get Ghost support in version 20.1. v20.1 is not released for Simrad yet. My information is some months old so things may have changed. I don't have a GO unit where I currently am so I'm not able to check now.

    Thank you sir! I think I’ll pass on this deal and wait for the Lives to hit the clearance racks. With my luck, I’ll buy the simrad for ghost linking and it won’t ever get there.
