So I was able to test another transducer and it worked. So my question is.... Is my XM 920 MSI T campatible with the XNT 9T Chirp Mega SI transducer?
Thank you

Posted in the general section, but nobody had any ideas. Thought I would post here too. My Helix7 G3N was working the best it had ever worked last weekend, after changing some settings, I was actually able to start seeing fish on down and side. Then, Saturday morning I turned the unit on, and it would only display pages with maps, no 2D, no DI, no SI. Shut the unit down, and restarted, and all of my pages came back. My 2D sonar never showed anything at all in the entire water column, all day, and all night. Even with the sensitivity cranked up. I could see structure and what not, on down and side, but nothing, other than the bottom, on 2D. I even reset back to default settings, and still nothing. I was catching fish, but I never could see any on my 2D (which is my primary source for finding them) I have proper depth, and bottom contours, I have proper water temps, and proper speed. But nothing between the bottom and my transducer on 2D.
Doesn't make any sense at all to me.

Will a Helix 12 Chirp Mega Side imaging gn2 network with a helix 7 chirp gn2 plug and play? or is there going to have to be an update in software? and will the cable just hook directly from one unit to the other? I plan on using the helix 12 as the primary source and just have the helix 7 show what the 12 is reading.
Thanks Keith Yes they will share data but do it best if the software versions are the same or close. Both need the AS EC QDE Ethernet Adapter, and then an Ethernet cable between them. Wayne just wanted to say THANKS and let you know that everything works like it should. Below are pics of the 12 mega and the 7 chirp. That 7 has an awesome clarity and detail. Thanks again

Humminbird Helix 7 DI gps trolling motor interference. So I’ve watched YouTube videos on this issue and I see it’s common. I ran separate circuit from the battery to the bow graph. I grounded the head of the trolling motor. And I disconnected the three bank charger from the battery that feeds the graph. I’m still getting interference! Bad. As soon as I hit the button on the trolling motor which is a motor guide x3 the depth goes to 1100 feet and the screen turns red and yellow. Please help!!

I have a Helix 12 Mega SI Chirp gps gn2 networked with a Helix 7 chirp gps ( a picture of them is above this a few posts ) And last saturday the side imaging on the linked units both had the left side fade almost to nothing. I tried to reset defaults, Power on and off, checked connections and checked voltage and nothing helped it. Does this sound like the left crystal in the mega transducer is going out? it did the same thing on 800mhz but not quite as bad as on MEGA SI. Just want some feed back or if i am missing something.

Keith Good guess, checking the lower frequency is a good test of a weak piezo.
