So, Doug it's finally here. I want a 12" screen for the bow, but wonder if the Onix 10 at the dash will synch with the Helix? Also, will the Helix be able to cross talk to other units, IE: 1199 etc. Is the Onix system on hold? I know your hands are tied, but those of us waiting for the next best thing, have committed to Onix, and I love that 12' screen on the Helix, with a 1K lower price WOW, that seems like a deal.
ONIX/ION are alive and well and still the Premier Product Line from Humminbird. Just like Skeeter Boats they sell FX and ZX Series Boats. Both are great products but they don't upgrade all at the same time. HELIX is the Newest Addition and is replacing the CORE Series 600, 800, 900 & 1100 Series Products. HELIX is based off tried and true Humminbird Sonar Technology with some added new features & hardware that also offers more affordability to more anglers. Not every can afford the ONIX or needs all the features of the ONIX. The HELIX will be a great product for them. But if you want the Premier Features, Latest Technology and Highest Detail Level then ONIX is your answer. 2 Great Product Lines with lots of Differences.

The newest helix units are exactly what I've been looking for for years. I made a thread in the lounge last year about the need for larger units without so much "stuff" on them that would be affordable. I don't get to fish enough to eve learn how to use all the features the onix has. I don't need wifi, 360, SI on the front, etc. These units will be almost perfect for me. I don't get why the 9 & 10 doesn't have chirp. They would really hurt lowrance elite if they did. The only other thing is I wish you could add SI/DInto the base units later if you wanted. I've never owned a HB in my life but I'm about to have a 9 & 10. I may get 2 9's if the 10's aren't coming out soon. I'm glad I held off ordering the 2 core units last week now.

This is not Economy CHIRP that the 12 Offers it's a much broader range and not limited minimal frequency points being used. We will learn more on Humminbird CHIRP. There is a big differences in CHIRP Technology and Costs from limited range economy CHIRP to the Full Spectrum Real CHIRP that scans numerous frequencies. Sure cost of Humminbird CHIRP System is one of the big reasons to not out price the HELIX 9 and HELIX 10 out of the Price Range they are priced at.

That's kind of what I ws thinking. A more economical chirp version of the smaller 2 would've been nice though. Even the cheaper version chirp on the lowrance has great target seperation. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with what I've read so far. These units will suit me fine at the price I wanted. I can afford the top of the line stuff but it just doesn't make sense to me when I get to fish 4-6 times a month.
Doug,
I'm looking to add a 3rd (and perhaps a forth) unit to my boat. Please share details on what is shared between HELIX and ONIX across the network.
Map Sharing (like Onix)? No, answered elsewhere
Heading Sensor sharing (like Onix)?
2D SI DI 360 sharing (like Onix)?
also, how does the 360 SI DI compare between Onix and Helix?

Heading out to do more testing. I will see what I can share via Ethernet. I know Map Sharing is not a feature of HELIX to HELIX...done tried that. I'll try more of these features. RC-1 Remote is Compatible. AutoChart LIVE will be a feature of the HELIX 9, 10 & 12.
360 is very good on HELIX but is not as crisp as ONIX. I've got a comparison I did last week that will post next week.

Heading Sensor could not be shared from the ONIX to HELIX but it can share between HELIX and HELIX
Transducer Sharing between ONIX and HELIX I could not get it to do that only sharing waypoints. Waypoints both ways I created one on HELIX and shared on ONIX, Created one on ONIX and shared to HELIX

Anyone with chirp images from the 12 inch unit yet?
Also same Di as core series units with no dedicated crystal right?
I will test this today since I have both installed. But I think it's just like the CORE Series if you are using or sharing the SI the DI View will be from the SI Transducer. But if you select the DI Transducer from a DI Unit it will show DI but no SI. I'm going to the water later and will put this on my list of things to try.

Thanks doug.while your out testing,could you get a di shot on your helix si unit,using the DI from the si.Then get the same Di shot,using the same helix si unit,but using the DI transducer from your helix di unit. (I think that would be an interesting comparison shot).once again thanks.
