    Question Depth overlay now missing /blank....Solix G3

    I'm stumped on this one. 4 Solix-12 G3's, 2 on front and 2 at console. I've lost the DEPTH overlay on the two console units. The left unit has an in-hull 2D transducer and the right unit has a 2D/DI/SI transducer mounted on the back of the boat. The sonar screen on each unit/transducer looks normal, but the depth reading in the overlay is blank. I've tried setting the DEPTH source in the network settings to both transducers, but it remains blank. The front two unit get their depth from the built in 2D/DI on the Ultrex, and they work fine. I updated to 3.98 a couple of weeks back, but they worked fine afterward. I believe the issue started when I place all 4 units in Standby mode while flipping some very shallow water. When I took the units out of standby is when I noticed the issue.

    What am I missing??

    Thanks for your reply Capw. So there's nothing I can do at this time? It makes running somewhat uncomfortable when you can't see your depth at a glance. Increases that pucker factor a bit. LOL!!

    That has already been discussed, read this to get the depth readout back:

    Yeah, I had read this thread Wayne. There's just something about "Restore Factory Updates" up to 5 times and other random settings changes that I wasn't comfortable with. Was hoping that HB had given someone a more descriptive set of steps to follow.
