    Default Helix generation differences


    I was hoping someone could explain the differences between the generation 2 and generation 3 mega imaging helix units. Is the 3 that much different then the 2? Any input would be great. Thanks

    Isn't the 7 now included in G3N ? I think that was a big deal for this year as it hadn't been previously included.

    You are correct ... My apologies ...

    HELIX 7 G3 and G3N now comes in MEGA DI and MEGA SI (but not MEGA +) ...

    What does more range mean? Wider cone angle? What is the difference in 20' of water?

    More transmit power (with some filtering I'm guessing) = more range with the same detail ... (Doesn't go dark to the sides in SI as quickly) ...
