3DHUSKER Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 So looking to add this to my boat. Question: I have heard that a standard definition unit has a better picture than the HD units for viewing. For those of you who have seen both, is this true? The scuttlebutt is it looks like standard tv program on a HD unit in comparison. Who has seen both and what is your opinion? liphunter 1
liphunter Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Sent you a PM. I had a question. Luck is where preparation meets opportunity...... Or you could just flip a coin???
3DHUSKER Posted April 9, 2020 Author Posted April 9, 2020 Too clarify. There is one ducer with livescope currently . The question is running a HD unit or standard definition unit with that ducer. Hearing the picture is better with standard unit to the eye.
3DHUSKER Posted April 10, 2020 Author Posted April 10, 2020 Amazing.. Maybe this is in the wrong place.

3DHUSKER Posted April 10, 2020 Author Posted April 10, 2020 Could be no one has it. Who knows. I already have as much in electronics then my new to me boat cost. Not to mention the trolling motor that cost half as much.
Quillback Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Don't have Panoptix myself, but may someday unless AGFD bans it here in Arkansas - I say this based on this email I got from them today: Over the last several months, anglers have approached fisheries biologists around the state with their concerns about the potential impacts of LiveScope sonar technology on crappie populations. But rest assured, anglers are not the only ones who have recognized the potential increases in angler efficiency that this technology could provide. Fisheries biologists across the nation have been discussing this topic for a while. Additionally, members of the AGFC Statewide Crappie Management Team have also been discussing and investigating this technology for the last few years. Garmin LiveScope Image of a school of crappie hanging out under a dock. Photo courtesy of www.crappie.com. As with any new technology comes warranted and/or unwarranted concern about its potential effects on fish populations. For example, products such as umbrella rigs, sidescan sonar, and many others break into the fishing industry, each one bringing a wave of concern about its impacts. Before any decision about potential regulations can be made, fisheries biologists must first conduct rigorous scientific research to allow us to make a well-informed decision. Some of the first data collected regarding LiveScope usage in Arkansas were collected during the 2019 spring season angler creel survey on Lake Overcup. AGFC staff are also working with university fisheries researchers to analyze the usage of LiveScope (and other technologies, such as sidescan and downscan sonars) at multiple locations across the state to help determine if anglers using LiveScope are more successful. Researchers are also investigating the potential long-term effects of specifically harvesting larger crappies from a population at a faster rate. The good news here is that crappie populations have a very high "turnover" rate. In Arkansas, the average crappie population has an annual mortality rate (amount of fish that do not survive to the next year) around 65%. The average crappie only lives about 3-4 years, in Arkansas, and they are very prolific spawners. Therefore, even if it is determined that LiveScope is having a negative effect under current regulations, it will take crappie populations very little time to recover after AGFC passes any potential new regulations deemed necessary. The bottom line is that AGFC fisheries biologists are evaluating LiveScope, along with anything else that may potentially affect the fisheries of Arkansas, and with due diligence will propose appropriate, scientifically defensible regulations if they are determined to be necessary to conserve the fisheries of Arkansas for future generations.

Gotta love biologists and their "Rigorous research"! 🤣 What a hoot! What's for breakfast today, Dan? Oh I don't know yet, more research is needed. Let's apply for funding immediately, and then we'll see what we have to work with. In the meantime, toss me a Pop-Tart. Jerry Rapp 1

I knew that would bring you out!!!!! 😂 The more things change, the more they stay the same.... It comforts me.
3DHUSKER Posted April 11, 2020 Author Posted April 11, 2020 Yep lets study it send me some money and I can study it also. LOL About time this topic gets some run.....
