    Notice the frequencies in the images ...

    Sounds like they aren't really charging a lot more for it, but it will be interesting to see an actual user post comparison non-marketing shots. Getting back into the boat game (small scale) once i get into my new house, so I will be looking for a single unit with a modest price. All brands welcome

    Look's great. There is no where a fish can hide anymore. The dedicated DI will be hard to resist compared to the blended I'm use to.

    http://www.humminbird.com/Products/H...GA-SI-GPS-G2N/

    XM 9 20 MSI T for HELIX 10 SI G2N and HELIX 9 SI G2N ...

    http://www.humminbird.com/Products/H...GA-SI-GPS-G2N/

    I can't find much specs yet ... except this ...

    CHIRP/Side Imaging/Down Imaging/DualBeam PLUS

    455kHz Side Imaging provides 800 ft of side to side coverage.
    455kHz Down Imaging works to a depth of 400 feet.
    1.2 MHz Side Imaging provides 250 feet of side to side coverage.
    1.2 MHz Down Imaging works to a depth of 125 feet

    Anyone know if the price points for the new Mega units are going to be comparable with Gen 1 units. Have an 899 si at console and was just looking to add a bow mount to hook up to my MK us/2 on bow. If price comparable maybe I upgrade console and just hookup 899si head unit on bow. Glad to see the Helix 7's now can be networked....

    I've been thinking about this new transducer.The talk is that it going to have separate Piezo elements for mega scanning and the regular kHz ,that were all used to.side and diwn imaging.seems to me that that transducers going to be pretty crowded,with all that in there.Also seems to me,if that transducer is a low Q transducer,it would be pretty expensive to bulit? ? dono

    It's my understanding the new Mega xducer is very similar to the ONIX SI xducer ...maybe a smidge longer ...

    2 side pointing SI pieoes capable of 455kHz/800kHz/1200kHz fixed and CHIRP ...
    1 down pointing DI piezo capable of 455kHz/800kHz/1200kHz fixed and CHIRP ...
    1 2d piezo capable of 83kHz/200kHz fixed and CHIRP ...
    1 temp probe ...

    I have found no info on Q factor yet ...
