This thing is making me nits. I've been over menus until I'm blue in the face trying to get rid of the NMEA2K screens when I scroll through vies. The first looks like a set of gauges, the second a dashboard, and the third is in block format. I want all of them to go away. Will someone please point me in the right direction?

You turn those off in the Views menu, BUT they will come back the next time you start the unit up. A glitch that needs taken care of.

Just for my curiosity, where in the menus are they turned off. I looked all over and never saw where to even turn it off..

Not sure if this works or not but Make sure you are in Advanced users mode. Go into setup menu and make sure nmea 0183 output is turned off

Using the transducer that came in the box, what should the frequencies be set for in the setup? I assume it's a CHIRP transducer, correct?

If the CHIRP is turned on, I set the frequency to Medium/High combination. This is the same as the 83/200 both wide and narrow sonar bands.

Thanks for the charts. I have the Helix Chirp SI but not the Mega. Are the transducer frequencies going to be the same since that transducers are different?

Why would I not have CHIRP on a CHIRP unit? Does it require a different transducer?

Re-read my last post slowly. You do not have CHIRP ImagingYou have CHIRP SonarThe G2N models have CHIRP Sonar and CHIRP Imaging.

Understood. Do I have it on DI or just 2D?

"I" stands for Imaging. You don't have DI either, you have a DI view that is created by blending the two SI pulses. So no you don't have CHIRP DI. You have CHIRP Sonar---that's it. The MEGA SI units have real DI from a dedicated DI crystal in the MEGA SI transducer.
