Thread: Live Scope.....Deal or No Deal

UHD will not affect Livescope so if your main use is for the scope go with the cheaper $$ unit, but if you are going to use it also for your main unit as side and down scan go with more expensive $$$ unit.

It's my understanding from a youtube video that the uhd is replacing the plus, but they are both good units. I just installed the uhd for my livescope and the uhd came with the side image and down scan transducer. Just finished it up last weekend and have not had a chance to use it.

Yep I agree with post #4. Best information you are going to get right there.

Pulled the trigger today on Live Scope and the 93 sv UHD unit.....did'nt buy the DI SI transducer yet. Bought it at BBG Marine and got the normal price on the live scope transducer 1499 - 200 mail in rebate. And got what I think is a good deal on the 93sv. Will ship out in about a week. Guess they are behind from being off.

I'm a little confused, are you saying that if you are using the unit for livescope all the units have the same resolution? I am looking at getting the Echomap Ultra 102SV because it has higher resolution than some other units. I have seen videos that lead me to believe that units with higher resolution have a higher resolution with livescope as well with the lvs32 transducer. If that is not true, I might re-think my decision.

Thanks

You are correct on resolution. The difference on the 93 is this, the 93svUHD produces higher resolution on Side and Down imaging. But between those two units usin just for live scope there is no difference. So if your buying the 93 for live scope only then the on sale unit is Best Buy. Which s what I just did. The unit your looking at does have higher resolution and should give you a sharper picture on live scope. I fished with a 93 and I could see it very good so to me it’s just how much you can afford to spend. No different than do I buy a mega unit or non mega unit. Is the higher resolution and sharper picture really worth the extra money to YOU? Not what my opinion is and works for me.
