Hello! First post!
I am upgrading my poor 585 this December, the screen has finally died on it, well, you know, the delamination issue.
I have been watching all of the furuno shootout videos on youtube, and i really am a fan of the tz3.. especially since i know it will work at least as good as my 585 which has already put me on quite a few fish in my short time as a boat owner..
I am planning on doing dual screens on my 2003 Key west 22' center console.. up until i learned about the 9" today I was looking at doing some extreme relocation of things to make the two 12" displays fit, but now I am loving the dual 9"! MY question is this, is there anything that the 12" does that two 9"'s cannot do? I understand that the 9" only has a single channel chirp. but the 12" has the dual channel. On a single transducer boat, is this an issue? If you have, for example, a B265LH, can a 12" fire it at both low and high frequencies at the same time? Or are two separate transducers required?
There are a lot of questions I have, and i am a little bit confused, so I would like to have these questions answered separately if possible, which will help me a lot... thank you in advance...
1) Can dual 9's both be wired to the same B264LH (or equivalent), one firing low chirp, one firing high chirp? (as long as the frequencies chosen are not harmonics of one another)
2) Can dual 9's, one firing low freq chirp on transducer A, one firing high freq chirp on transducer B, share the sonar data between them , and display it both on a single split screen?
3) Can dual 9's, #1 firing traditional sonar 50khz on transducer A, #2 firing traditional 200khz on transducer B, AND a DFF-3d 165khz, display all of their data on either screen?
4) Can the SCX-20 be shared between the twin 9" as much as needed?
5) Can the drs4dnxt be shared between the twin 9" as much as needed?
Thank you!!!!
