Onix software (2.700)

[kosmo]

Updated today. Took around three minutes after I started the update, for it to complete. Once the unit rebooted, this was the first screen to appear

Is that a 2d chirp screen kosmo?

So my onix will have chirp capability as soon as I'm updated or will another transducer or module need to be bought?

Your ONIX will have the capability to transmit the medium and high CHIRP sweep frequency range thru it's own stock xducer ...

kosmo,

Thanks for the update. In your post #3, there is a Chirp Frequency menu drop down with a selection labeled "Generic 83/200". Do you know if this means that you can chirp thru a standard 2d sonar transducer like the US2 in a terrova? Or does "Generic" mean a non HB chirp only transducer? I was under the impression that Onix processed 2D sonar from the Onix transducer differently than non Onix, but I could be mistaken. (I often am). Also, I am able to use the US2 transducer with the Onix, so maybe the processing technology is the same for both transducers.

Am glad HB did this upgrade, but I still haven't seen any web based screen shots or videos of "chirped" 2D images that are close to the quality of an Onix DI image for the same spot.

Unfortunately, I wont be able to use my Onix until early May, but in the interim, am looking forward to seeing what others are experiencing with the Onix chirp & other elements in the 2.7 Onix update.

I'm not sure about which transducers can be used. I used the chirp today with the stock transducer. I've got a lot to learn. So far, the fixed frequency out performed the actual chirping for me today. I've got some pictures to post and a short video. That I'll post later.

Kosmo .... when running chirp, can you bring the high and low frequency together far enough to get a fixed frequency while in chirp mode?
