Why would you want to use the "new Transducer" ?

I saw a demo at bass pro shop in Dallas and It appeared to have a much better detailed si and DI picture. I believe it indicated a 1100 hz signal? I don't know anything more I am going to go to a 10 Helix hpefuly
ths year and was wondering what my options were.
The Helix MEGA SI units have a different transducer that is longer than the HDSI and has a dedicated Down Imaging crystal like the ONIX SI transducer has. MEGA stands for 1200 kHz or 1.2 mKz. They have CHIRP 2D sonar and CHIRP Imaging.
For the Helix 10 size, that would be the Helix 10 CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G2N.
The other Helix 10 size with Side Imaging is Helix 10 SI GPS that has the same transducer as your 998.
Both are current models.

The Mega appears to be a nicer image, from what I have only seen on here, and the web. I don't have one
