Probably this is an unfair question to ask of the Furuno technical experts but I will try anyway. Would I be likely to get significantly better performance overall from a DFF1-UHD with a PM265LH transducer or a DFF3 with a CM599LH transducer? I am guessing that you will have tested these combinations and seen results in real life.
I do a combination of fishing inshore in relatively shallow water (30-100 feet) and offshore trolling and swordfishing in water as deep at 1500-2000 feet. I know it is probably a given that the DFF3 will have a big advantage in the very deep water. I think that being able to select frequency with the DFF3 and running the high side at 130kHz will be advantageous for seeing pelagic fish in the top 300 feet of the water column while using the low side at 28 or 38kHz would give me better fish detection than the DFF1-UHD.
What I am really hoping for is that Furuno will offer an updated DFF3 that has circuitry like the new FCV-1900 CHIRP standalone sonars but I guess that is wishful thinking.
