Thread: Sonar Quiz #24

Thanks Rickie for that information, very interesting. The Onix looks really good and I assume it has the third piezo in it. (DI)
I'd love to see the homogeneous bottom the use for testing these problems.

If you are asking about the OP image ... I assume Spearfish III was trolling under power ...

Overlapping slice beams create an effect similar to this beam form example which end up showing in the SI image as the dark lines ...

Rickie, with the onix, you can run the di on a different frequencie than the si or , if you choose, just turn the di off.

From what info I can find ...Onix (and maybe Ion) is the only unit (with SI piezoes and a DI piezo in the same housing) that the DI piezo can be shut off to completely eliminate the issues caused by overlapping slice beams ...
