    Unhappy Cant use 2 sepaerate transducers at one time

    Well I guess I get the big dum nut award for the last 10 years . Makes me feel like Ernest Bass on Andy Griffite show . I just found out that you cant have 2 sonar transducers on 2 different units on at the same time . You will get faults readings on screen !

    Not in shallow water. Or if you run them on different frequencies.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Cannot run different 2D frequencies with his units. They use 200 kHz all the time for the depth readout regardless of which frequency is chosen to be viewed for 2D sonar.

    Damn Wayne, you're already running a Helix 10 MEGA DI+ G3N?!
    Do tell us, do you notice a big improvement?

    Last time I looked BBG Marine had 27 of them in stock. Some Helix 12's also. The MEGA DI Minnkota motors are available so there is a need for a good unit to match them.

    The Image quality is outstanding for the MEGA frequency. Dual Spectrum is like the MEGA G2N and SOLIX MEGA DI.

    I guess I'll be using old tech for awhile now. I'm just over a year into my current units.
