Just bought a helix 12 si/di mega gen2 are their any better HD transducer that will work better than the stocked one ( XM 9 20 MSIT ). They had them on sale for $1499.99 too hard to pass up.

I think the stock transducer is the one to use.

Just bought a helix 12 si/di mega gen2 are their any better HD transducer that will work better than the stocked one ( XM 9 20 MSIT ). They had them on sale for $1499.99 too hard to pass up. The one that Scheels has is the 2019/2020 G2N SI HW Promo unit. It does not come with that transducer. Helix 12 HW CHIRP MEGA SI GPS G2N. It comes with the XM 9 1012 HW MSI T transducer that is special made for that unit. Pay attention to the HW in the model's name. It is HW CHIRP 2D sonar, not 83/200 kHz 2D sonar like the discontinued G2N models from 2017/2018. The XM 9 20 MSI T is the discontinued unit's transducer. The 20 in the model name stands for 20 degree spec coverage for 200 kHz.
Helix 12 CHIRP MEGA SI+ GPS G3N and G4N, 1198c SI, SOLIX 10 SI G3, Helix 8 MEGA SI+ GPS G4N, SOLIX 12 SI and G3, MEGA 360, MEGA LIVE TL, RC-1

What does the HW mean or stand for? What would be lacking in this model vs the standard Helix 12 G2N?

I am also curious about this, are we saying the included transducer is better than the normal g2n unit ? HW stands for HIgh frequency (140-240 khz) Wide angle. It is dual spectrum transducer with a low Q value which translates to better separation with 2d returns, the transducer is better tuned for chirp units than the older dual beam 83/200 khz
