    Transducer for chirp units

    Can I use my xtm 9 wide DI 20 t on a chirp unit and get chirp 2d imaging?

    Yes, the unit does the CHIRPing, not the transducer. It CHIRPs whatever transducer is connected to it.

    That transducer will only be compatible with the solix? Will there be an adapter cable available for a helix G2N unit?

    The transducer is listed in the software description for the SOLIX. It is not listed in the ONIX software description.

    I doubt there will be an adapter to make it a 7 pin connection for the Helix units.

    Troy, I also saw those 2 new ducers on the site but can’t find compatibility anywhere. Hoping they will work with a CHIRP DI G2N unit...?

    I thought the XM 9 MDI T was the standard transducer for the MEGA DI units or at least that is what's shown under the specs for the unit?

    The two SOLIX DI transom transducers are:

    XM 14 20 MDI T
    XM 14 MDI T

    I would guess that the low-Q DI transducer for the Helix has a 20 in the model name for the 20 degree 2D crystal size.

    Hey Troy...still running the garmin but adding a helix 10 mega. Shipping as I type. This new transducer shipping out with new units yet? Think I can swap it if it doesn’t?

    disregard...looks like won’t fit helix.

    The ones in post #8 are Helix MEGA DI transducers.
