800kHz High Detail Side Imaging

[Doug V]

I personally don't use the 800kHz due to it's more limited coverage area versus the 455kHz; but I was playing around a little today and scanning the river bed and flipped to 800kHz and got some interesting images. Might have to start playing with it more as it offers a different view of the underwater world. Check out these images of the old river channel below one of my local lakes.

Thx for the post and the link. Going to look into outfitting my boat with something of that nature. How much does something like that usually cost?

Depends on the Model and Size of Screen but the 5" 798ci HD starts at $1,050 but includes GPS Mapping, Switchfire 2D Sonar, Down Imaging and Side Imaging all in one complete package and they go up to the 1198c 10.4" Screen for $2,800.
