    Default HDS set ups

    Once your HDS unity is set up they preform great, all are dual freQ, just make sure to get the 83-200 transducer, other things that affect sonar clarity are interference and surface clarity settings, both should be set to at least low to medium, next set to freshwater use, turn off the amplitude scope, also make sure your unit has the latest upgrades there have been 3 in the past 6 months,currently 4.1 for gen 1s and 1.1 for gen 2s..... i can make a dock call if you need help...Ed

    I have to agree with these guys on the DSI unit. I raved and raved over it until I saved the money and finally bought and started using it. Not a good one for Lake Erie.
    Just my $.02

    I run the lorance hds,10 with insight as a chartplotter and a furuno 585 with a b260 transducer. Could not be happier,

    that settles it. If the skipper gives his blessing it will be good enough for me. thanks again to all who were kind enough to post their thoughts. HDS it will be.

    If you have any problems with the hds let me know I am very knowledgeable on the unit.

    Is anyone here more knowledgable with the Elite05 DSI unit ? I love the chartplotter. I am just not impressed with the sonar side of the unit.
