Trying to decide if I want to go to Garmin on console for side imaging as opposed to HDS. I know Live units do not have the mHz frequency unless you buy new module coming out and the Pro units have it, but are just Uber expensive. So I’m trying to decide between 126sv or HDS-12 Live at the console. I have a 106sv on the bow for livescope as well as an HDS12 gen 3 unit. All my waypoints are in lowrance unit. Have 2D in hull lowrance transducer already wired to the gen 3 currently in console. I want best images possible here and I know the Garmin units have the MHz sidescan frequency and the HDS-live only goes to 800mhz unless you buy the module and I’d be more inclined to just get Pro unit instead of doing that.
Would I be better off to move over to Garmin at console for this or is the image going to be comparable even tho the HDS Live unit doesn’t have the mHz frequency? I do like the lowrance unit because that’s what I’m used to, but I’m technical enough, I’m not afraid to learn the Garmin’s settings either. My main concern is image quality and not buying outdated tech with inferior imaging.
