Never assume there's a tomorrow
full chirp? is that the new di low q transducer? it's much improved
What is your assessment of the new transducer? I have one but haven't installed it yet. Boat is still in storage.
Looks very good Carl!
You like that Troy??

These were captured from my onix unit being fed by the solix . The bottom pic was captured from the solix. The 2d seems to run pretty hot. The bottom pic was around 4-5 on the sensitivity. When zooming in I cranked up the sensitivity till I got a good arch then turned up higher on the second one. I had a pretty good shot at another group of fish but was too busy trying to get them to hit and wasn't able to get a screen shot. On the zoomed in shots you can see some blue just above the bottom which I believe to be vegetation, I snagged it several times.

good points. i didnt even notice the blue line of vegitation
Is there a 2d only transducer that would be compatible with the helix 12 mega g2n that will produce images like this? I already have a splitter that I'm not using so I could link to the stock transducer. The stock transducer is pretty good but this looks better to me.

So humminbird doesn't make any currently..... Is there a chance that they will ever make one for the Helix or is the Helix just not capable of supporting Low Q Chirp? What is the difference between the 2d chirp that comes on the Helix and the Low Q chirp that the solix is using?
Is there an aftermarket (airmar or ?) transducer that would provide a 2d transducer with Low Q chirp to the helix?
Sorry for all the questions..... just trying to learn and understand what options I have...... if I have any.
I'm pretty happy with my current set-up but man those images above sure do look nice and I'd really like to get as close to that as I possibly can.
Humminbird has basically the same transducer for the helix mega di units
..these come standard with the mega di units. There is a trolling motor version as well.
