Lowrance side scan not working.
All gps and basic sonar work fine from all three hds units in the boat.
Check out this breakdown active i.
Checked and non of them display structure scan.
Lowrance product expert jacob scott walks through the basic settings set up and interpretation of active imaging sidescan.
Medium chirp or 83khz specifically designed to give the widest coverage area 83 khz is ideal for watching a bait under the transducer in shallow water.
The structure scan has a 3d display that works like a side scan but allows you to see the point at which the fish are suspended.
So i called simrad tech and i was told the unit would not work with the transducer ad would not until a future software update is developed which may occur next.
So i tried adjusting the transducer and checking my installation while still on the water.
The side scan allows you to see that the fish is toward the side.
Low chirp or 50khz lower frequency means higher power for deep water fishing.
Making a few adjustments to your structurescan settings can enhance the on the water performance of your hds unit.
My guess is you have a transducer where the xid is not working properly.
Perfect for pinpointing fish holding areas like rockpiles standing timber weedbeds ditches and drop offs active imaging 3 in 1 with lowrance chirp sidescan and downscan delivers superior clarity the best target separation and the highest resolution images of fish and structure at a longer range than any other structure imaging technology.
Any other ideas i could try before i take it to the shop.
Have 2 other lowrance units in my boat.
Here is a quick breakdown.
Lowrance elite 7ti side scan issues.
I have purchased and installed the lowrance elite 7ti with totalscan transducer.
The lowrance 3d structure scan on the other hand gives you a picture of the fish in the water column.
I have had it out on the water to test and everything works but the side imaging.
High chirp or 200khz higher frequencies display a higher resolution image making it easy to discern fish from structure or.
Sonar and down imaging both work.
