Reply With QuoteI have just gotten my new Helix 5 SI, have not been on water yet. I took my three year old recordings from 385 DI - it plays them, but shows just one right side:

The same with Lowrance units:

Now do you want to explain why the DI recordings only play on the right side of the HELIX 5 SI ...??
Or do you want me to ..??
Or maybe someone else would like a shot at this query ... ??

That's OK, although in Hummviewer it showed both sides. Just wonted to show how it works, I will be able to try it on water in three weeks. First I would like to check it in my under ice scaning mode (sweeping) of both sides.

I am sorry for а long delay, and would like to share my experience on under ice scanning. I made video how I managed to see fish 40 feet away of my ice hole right under another fishermen tent using my SI unit in DI mode – I fixed my SI transducer at 30 degree, and used its left crystal. The video is in Russian, but it is quite obvious what is going on in their: in the beginning I scanned area in front of me from 120ft away till under me, and seen only one fish spot close to bottom, then I turned my tackle towards the fishermen tent and seen fish school right under him. Before I made several scanning’s in several directions 120 ft away (wider then football field) and seen just a few fish spots, but school of fish was only under that guy:

I also used SI mode for both sides, and seen pole 30ft away and bottom drop 75ft away on the right:
Unfortunately there are a lot of surface clutter in SI mode because of ruff under ice surface (the late autumn was windy and the ice was broken).
The DI mode is much clear because the left beam is pointed more vertical - inclined for 30 degree down, that is enough and no need to incline for 45 degree.
