Thread: Humminbird MEGA Live debut ...

I think this video looks really good. Very comparable to Garmin Livescope which I've had and used allot over the last 2-1/2+ years.. Winner for me as long as there are no dead zones like most of us are seeing currently with Livescope.

Hope it works out for all the Bird owners.

if it could get just close to the garmin on clarity but eliminate the distortion from the "ghost Tree" it would make me spend the money, the ghost tree is my number one complaint with garmin, and i really thought over time they would eliminate it, i know they have this update but from the folks i have talked to its still there ya just gotta live with it, to me its crazy to have a 3-4k unit and right where you fish at in that 15-20' range you have the worst distortion, i think they can do better, id also like to see a better harder bottom line, if you have ever chased one around and then see him go to the bottom and dissapear you know what i mean

I hope Humminbird gets it together before they release anything.
Garmin has had 2-3 transducer upgrades since they’ve been out.
Hoping they can correct their problems with software updates instead of another transducer change.
Don’t matter to me I guess. Im pretty satisfied with the LVS32. I think that’s what it’s called.

Well,,,I’m sucked in. Just ordered Mega Live off Brian of BBG Marine. Now need to decide how I will mount it as I already have mega 360 on a SS da Ducer up front. And might just add a 3rd fish finder up front also. Decisions, decisions,,looks like I have time to decide!

Did Brian give you a delivery date?
Hope you keep us posted and it works out for you. Kinda curious what frequency it operates on also.
I take it you only ordered the transducer?

Nobody will give you a delivery date..nobody knows…just sometime in sept. If that. I have a mega 10 and 12 DI up front and networked…so all I need is mega live transducer. It comes with mount, power wire,,and 20’ network cable.

I think I read somewhere the operating frequency is 1000-1100 MHz if I have it all typed right. Maybe Rickie can clarify this alittle better…will keep looking for that answer.
