Creating my own charts with TZT3
- Thread starter backman
- Start date
First off, thanks for reading the manuals 
The PBG (personal bathy generator) feature of the TZT3 requires the DFF3D and transducer. Good question. The TZT3 doesn't allow single point depth units for this feature currently, only the multi-beam.

Backman:
Do you have a wet keel in your Northern Bay? If you do you can fit the transducer in the keel.
I had a 1998 vintage Wesmar Sonar on my 42 Duffy so I had a hull tube for the sound dome. When it died 3 years ago I mounted the transducer for the DFF 3D in the hull tube, Works great.
Building a 38 Calvin Beal to take to Florida and plan to mount the transducer in the keel.
Easy to do in the planning stages
Can't say enough good things about the DFF-3D. Only issue is transducer mounting in down east keel boats. Maybe Furuno can look into a port and starbord transducer arrangement.
Humminbird uses 2 transducers on their Helix units to solve the issue with keel boats. The transducers connect to the unit via a Y cable that does not power the elements of the inboard side of each transducers.

I do have a wet keel but I don’t have the guts to tear into it. I’m a mystery smorgasbord of General Marine Northern Bay hull and a not so great finisher. I just don’t know what I’ll find down there.
And yes, if I were tough and committed enough for the 5 year build process - your going at it the right way.

From a support aspect the question has been asked and answered. Not everyone will always like the answer, but this is the current status of things. You may want to reach out to Nobeltech/MaxSea about their TZ Professional product for PC which may be able to record hardness with a select number of sounders.
Hope this helps, :sail

Do I understand correctly?
With tzt3, I can't create a PBG with a single beam transducer, I can only create a pbg with dff3d.
My dream is to create a PBG with dff3d and create a more precise map with single beam on it. Are you sure I can do it with TimeZero?
It's interesting that the GP1971F can do, which the more advanced tzt3 series can't. Or it is necessary to put 1971f in tzt3.

Not quite,
TZ3 + DFF3D + PBG - Exclusive to multibeam DFF3D Network sounder and TZ Touch 3 series.
GP1971F - Can not do bottom hardness recording
PC + Timezero Pro/Nav. v.4 with modules + maybe FCV295/FCV1150 with single beam - Hardness mapping sort-of
*Note: we encourage conversation, but this TZ Touch 3 sub forum should be for those seeking technical support information on this product, and is not quite the place for feature requests.
Much Appreciated, :sail

DFF3D = MULTIBEAM which can be used on TZT3 for PBG with required heading.
Other sounders like DFF1, DFF3, UHD, internal sounders = SINGLE BEAM can NOT be used with TZT3 PBG function. Other systems like Nobeltec TZ Pro can make use of single beam units to conduct PBG with the correct modules. (Please contact Nobeltec for any questions or support in regards to Nobeltec TZ products) If that is the tool you want; it is a good one.
TZT3 is the first NavNet system to offer PBG and currently uses the DFF3D to allow for that feature. Multi-beam offers many advantages over single beam that I am not going into right now. While people are free to speculate and hope, we talk about what is being sold now and abilities offered. While we can pass suggestions from our suggestion topic area to product development, this is not a product development forum.
