    Helix 10 gen 1 transducer question

    Hi

    I have fortrex with a us2 sonar built in. I have discovered that that is not compatible with my helix 10. Is that correct ? I'm going to try to get my ducer that came with the unit exchanged by hb but I need a solution by Tuesday as I'm leaving for a fishing trip. Will the us2 at least read the dept or will it not work at all.

    The US2 is a 83/200 kHz 2D transducer. It does not do Imaging of any kind.

    Which one of the 4 versions of Helix 10 generation 1 do you have?

    is the Humminbird adapter.

    Check for a Connected Transducer setting of Generic 83/200 kHz. If you don't have that, maybe HB 83/200 kHz.
    Last choice would be DI 83 /200 kHz.
