List of HB units compatible with iLink...

url]http://www.minnkotamotors.com/_docs/Products/Accessories/i-Pilot_Link/i-Pilot_Link_Humminbird_Compatibility-1-17-14.pdf[/url]

There was a mistake on the HB website ... instead of 34 Channel the ONIX Series will feature a 48 Channel just like the AS GRP and AS GPS HS Receivers.

Plus the Internal Receiver in the 9 Series models 859, 899, 959, 999, 1159 and 1199 is a 56 Channel Receiver

Plus the 300 and 600 Series feature the same Internal 56 Channel Receiver.

The 899ci HD SI Combo comes stock with the XTM 9 SI 180 T...(Compact SI xducer capable of 83kHz/200kHz 2d and 455kHz SI)...

It can be traded (new in the package) for the XHS 9 HDSI 180 T ...(HDSI xducer capable of 83kHz/200kHz 2d and 455kHz/800kHz SI)...

I'm not sure about trade in price...(I've heard $50-$70)...

Ive had 3 buddies exchange theirs for $50 each Rickie.

The SI beam may hit the surface, but it may also hit details on the stern even if they don't seem to obscure the beam. This is possible because the SI beam is not a single thin slice with sound as is shown in most sketches, it actually consists of a large number of thin slices which fill the angular space between the main beam and the plane of the piezo element. These sidelobes have much lower intensity than the main lobe has so they don't use to affect the image. This bundle with lobes act like one wide lobe that sometimes produces wide arcs around very reflective objects. If the stern has something very reflective on it, this can cause a line in the image.

The image below show a simulation of the SI beams in a transducer with 113 mm long piezo element at 455 kHz. This is a way to show what the beams would look like if they were visible from above. The beams are calculated down to -50 dB which is rather low so the image actually exaggerates the influence from sidelobes.

The transducer is located at the crossing between the dashed lines. The dashed lines represent left and right element surface. The shaded areas represent the distribution and intensity of sound transmitted from the left and right SI beams (starting at the crossing). Quite alot of sound is sent towards the surface. I have tried to draw a 3D figure, but these cases are so extreme that my program can't do that due to too low decimal resolution.

(There is wide sector right under the transducer where left and right beam overlap. The large distance between left and right element array (about two inches) causes a phase shift between the beams and therefore also a complicated interference issue. The "fingers" pointing downwards indicate this interference. This is the reason why the DI from SI technique is doomed to be inferior to dedicated DI.

ANY unit that is currently able to use LakeMaster SD Mapping Cards will be able you use LakeMaster AutoChart Mapping.

ONIX preloaded maps...

It’s called “TriFuel” and is a combination of Navionics, C-MAP and LakeMaster maps...
