After using an HDS-5 for a couple years on the bow (not structure options), I decided to replace my df and plotter on the console w/an HDS - wanting to eliminate 1 unit and also network for waypoint purposes. Then I found a deal on an HDS-7 with all the structure scan stuff (LSS1) along with the network stuff..... Then I found another deal on HDS-8 recon at Cabela's.
That was over the winter and now looking at getting things put in. Also 2nd-guessing and now watching for an HDS-8 or 10 head unit to use instead of the 7.
To the string theme here, I've gotten and going thru the Dr Sonar DVDs that are supposed to educate on the structure scan stuff (and help me out to get more out of the HDS units that I haven't figured out so far [which is ALOT
].
After I get things in and rollin', I'll try to add more useful info to the string here. At used prices, I can afford to find out if the structure scan stuff is worth messin' with.
