Fcv-1150 airmar 3kw chirp transducer questions.

[Aaron Paisley-Kerr]

How many people run a 3kw chirp over the standard furuno transducers and much difference? Picture would be nice. Iv git the cm599lh already and about to add the fcv-1150. Cheers

When it comes to fishfinders frequency trumps power while power is also important. The CM599LH and the FCV1150 are excellent options because you can vary your freq as you go deeper or more shallow. Airmar estimates that CM599LH can go as deep as 10,000ft. This would be using the lowest freq of 28khz. Lower freqs go deeper while higher freqs give the best resolution. Ideally, you want to hit a target with the highest freq you can and still reach it.

Not to be a tool. But thanks for not answering the question at all.

Aaron Paisley-Kerr,

Here something that might be helpful for you. This is picture that showing both the Low and High fixed frequencies of a R509LH. The R509LH transducer is using the same elements as the CM599LH this will show you the individual performance of each frequency:

Ok but what other information is going with it. Because it got no depth I can see of gain/tvg. Because all that kind of makes a difference as well?
