cool....
Which software version are you running?
The latest: 19.1
Am I correct in understanding that you have a blue 7 pin connector on the TM150M to which you have used 7/9 pin adapter cable to connect to Channel 1(Sonar) on your Live unit. I’m similar in that I need a 9 pin connection which is the (structure) Channel 2 port on my Carbon.
Thanks...I'm running latest as well. I must have a bad transducer.
The TM150 won't work in ch2; plug it directly in ch1
Bought a tm150 from Treeguys a while back. Hooked up to a carbon...it had the adapter cable and when it was connected the carbon went into auto detect mode and I was good to go.
Sacred Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death. AMEN
O blood and water which gush forth from the heart of Jesus, have mercy on us
For the sake of his sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and the whole world
I’m working with a Carbon and a TM185HW and that combo works on channel 2(Black, 9 pin, structure port)Interesting that the TM150M requires channel 1 on the Live. Interesting indeed.
Just read the installation manual and yes you can use ch2 with a chirp transducer. You can also use a 3-1 in ch1 but you won’t get sides can only downscan
It wasn’t the chirp that moved me to channel 2 on the Carbon. As best I recall.... I had to get the 7/9 cable and move to the 9 pin port to have the xsonic feature function. I’m almost positive that’s the case but when I get all wired up again I’m going to try connecting to the 7 pin connector and see if the xsonic works there. If it does I’ll be at a loss to explain why I bought a adapter cable!
Interesting

I think the only thing going on here is XID is not working on this ducer...a quick check and my airmar is ticking away...so my questions is...if I select med chirp or what ever level of chirp, am I getting Airmar performance or lowrance programming. I haven't been on the water yet with this Airmar...so I have no idea how it performs.

I have a TM150 black 9-pin plug.
It worked just fine in the HDS-12 Carbon CH2 black 9-pin connection.
Upgraded to HDS-12 and HDS-16 Live console units. The same TM150 works just fine in the HDS-12 Live Ch2 black 9-pin connection also.
My Structurescan 3-n-1 transducer is connected in the HDS-16 Live CH2 black 9-pin connection.
So got my hds-live 9, a 2in2 and an airmar-150.
I plugged the 2in1 in channel 2 (black) connector and the tm150m in the channel 1 (blue).
All worked plug&play with no problems.
I can confirm mine us the same with my tm150
Curious that the TM150 frequency options include 83khz..... since its specs are 95-155khz. I noticed this when I got my new TM150 connected up to my HDS Gen 3 last week.
Does anyone run it in 83khz? Results? What depths etc does that frequency suit?
thanks!

The 83 kHz is there because some people think a transducer that can’t do 83 kHz can’t be any good in shallow water. The only upside I see is that sometimes when you fish close to other boats, having 83 as an option can help to avoid crosstalk.
Thanks!
It doesnt benefit from a wider cone in shallower water and bigger arches?
Im talking strictly as a fish-finding tool.
There is such a thing as «too wide». ;)
