netboy Posted January 20 Posted January 20 That's quite a gadget you got there. Have fun with it. Ham 1
nomolites Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Nice setup! I’m pretty happy I stopped resisting, but you all just keep on. Using it in tandem with 2D and SI for just a little while fills the gaps and gives you insight you’ve not had into what your gear is showing you. Mike BilletHead, Quillback and snagged in outlet 3 3
bfishn Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Just got to thinking... ~40 years ago I'd tape the transducer from my little green box to a broomstick and look all around with it. It required more interpretation, and if you glanced away you might miss something, but FFS nonetheless. BilletHead, Quillback, Ham and 4 others 7 I can't dance like I used to.

You’d have retired years ago and could show me how to properly fish the Arkansas River bfishn 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

You’d have retired years ago and could show me how to properly fish the Arkansas River Yeah, me too! I had a better one though, I had the depth track & shore track features of the Pinpoint System basically figured out 3 years before it showed up. 😪 Then I spent 3500 @ dealers cost buying one. Still have it BTW. PFA. I did electronics school for a couple years, then got an electronics performance inspector job at Bendix in KC. Ran a lot of naval sonar components thru the wringer, even their older tube rigs were amazing. Trust me, the Navy had sonar figured out pre-transistor. Every improvement since has been in the filtering/interpretation spectrum, now with modeling software painting a picture of the return. The same information was available to that old Green Box, but your brain was the only processor. Added; no matter how cool consumer sonar gets, the USN has way cooler. grizwilson, nomolites, Ham and 2 others 5 I can't dance like I used to.
