So are you saying that you can have both 455Khz and 800kHz StructureScan frequencies transmitting at the same time? I didn't think that was possible.

I have been unable to get two different frequency Structurescan at the same time.
First 3D only has 455
Totalscan scan has 455/800 but I cannot get it to run but one frequency at a time
I mounted a HDI with my 3D transducer hopping I could get 800 in DI and 455 in SI at the same time that way.
I still can only run one frequency in Structurescan
If it possible someone please let me know. I like 800 in di.

However, when you say i can display two different frequencies from the same transducer are you saying the Totalscan can generate 83 and 200 simultaneously as well as the 455/800 for the structure ? If so i guess that's a decent consolation prize.


Yes you can view all four if you set up a 4 split screen
83 and 200 on sonar and 455 and 800 on di and si

I was wrong about that.
I can get split sonar but not structure.

Cannot do it with the SS3D

I was on the lake yesterday and broke the small transducer of my Lowrance Carbon at the mounting loop. It was HST WSBL 80 - 200 hz. Now that I will need to replace it with a new transducer, I am trying to get an idea if I need one different than the HST WSBL 80 - 200 hz. I dont have much knowledge with these so I am asking for recommendations or for material to expand my knowledge for an informed decision. Another option that crossed my thoughts was to glue the broken HST-WSBL in the hull? Is that a possibility? I put this post in the general area but I think that may have not been the right place.

Assuming you already have a StructureScan ducer, you may want to look at the HDI with CHIRP. Thats what I run with the StructureScan 3D.

>>> Problem with HDS 12 <<<<
2D sonar keeps stopping -- I can reset and it scrolls for a few seconds and then goes into STOPPED mode again
down scan and side scan works fine -- GPS works fine
any ideas ?
Thx

Wanting to buy a new Lowrance unit for my boat. Been looking at getting the Hook2 7split shot. The thing is I want something with maps. I go to Alabama every year and would like to have a good map on my unit. Is the unit with the built in inland charts good or should I get the one with Nav plus charts included. Should I get the cheaper of the 2 and then buy a upgraded map.
Thanks for the help, Steve

It's always cheaper to buy the bundle; bundle mean the HOOK2 with a Nav. You are saving quite a lot of money buying the bundle

Thanks, I decided to jump on BassPro's cyberweek sale and purchased the Elite 7 with US/Canada Nav+ bundle. Was not after side scan but was as cheap as Hook .

will an HDS 12 Gen 2 interlink with an HDS 12 Gen 3 ???

I would like to run 2 12s off my Gen 3 Total scan transducer ,,,,,,,
or at least be able to co-plot waypoints

Yes, use an Ethernet cable and theres not problems with this combo.


Edit: clarify something. You only want to see what the gen3 is showing, you dont want to use the totalscan on the gen2s?
