GP1971F Chirp Or Not

[Bw80]

Hey guys,

I have a Gp1971f and looking to upgrade the P66 to either a TM185M or TM260.
I am fishing generally up to 40mtrs but will be also fishing in 300mtrs a few times a year.

Is there any feedback from anybody with these setups to help guide me to commit towards the Chirp tranny or staying with the traditional sounder.

Thanks guys :furuno

For what you are talking about doing, if it was me; I would go with the TM260. It will give you duel freqs and the low side should have no problem reaching the 300 meters for your deeper water fishing. The TM185M running CHIRP will look nice and be good for the 40 meters but doubtful it will ever get close to preforming well 300 meters in real world applications.

Thanks john, I will take that advice on board,
Its a shame I can not use a Tm265 on the unit then it would be an easy choice.

ı have tm265 installed and will like to use it with 1971f any wiring suggestions?
