Transducer experiment

I personally have not tried but considered mounting a 2d with down imaging transducer so that it would send out sound in a forward direction opposed to downward. In theory it should work similar to the live scope. Has anyone experimented with transducer direction ?

It will work nothing like a livescope. A guy on BBC claims you can get an image with the 2d on 83, but it won’t be anything similar to livescope.

I'm currently running birds and not sure if I want to add another unit at this point. Gonna look at the new Mega 360 capabilities next.

Find Wayne P in the electronics section and he will tell you what would benefit you the most, that man is a true guru!

nothing like livescope but should work the same as if pointed down. one potential problem is no bottom to reflect off of but I would think fish etc would still show.
