As has been pointed out, the Hook Reveal units do not support Active Target, so if you really want to experience forward facing sonar at some point and wish to stay with Lowrance, you'd probably want to look into the Elite FS series. Because of my downscan issues, Lowrance has offered to allow me to upgrade to the Elite FS 9 for the cost of the Hook Reveal series and I think I'm going to do so because I have been wanting to try "livescope" for some time.
