Sounder Rezboost

[Sitkatroller]

If I am utilizing a DFF1-UHD+ with a 526TID-HDD transducer and TimeZero professional with the sounder module will I have access to Rezboost?

Thanks in advance.

Sitkatroller,

The DFF1UHD+ does not include the "RezBoost" feature. However, when paired with the 526TID-HDD, it will still support AccuFish and Bottom Discrimination capabilities.

Would I have better sounder performance if I ran the transducer through a TZTXL display instead of the DFF1-UHD+. It is my understanding that the sounder module in the MFD does have Rezboost capability correct. If yes are the sounder modules the same for 10,13, & 16?

Sitkatroller,

The RezBoost feature is not available for TZTXL, primarily because TZTXL now includes CHIRP capability. However, TZTXL still supports Accu-Fish and Bottom Discrimination when used with a compatible CW transducer.

Deep Blue,

So how can I get sounder Rezboost and have it networked to TimeZero Professional. I will be using the 526TID-HDD transducer.

Thanks

Sitkatroller,

Please see section 6.16 in the TZTXL manual. To run RezBoost on a TZTXL, you will need to have a NavNet TZT2BB or a NavNet TZtouch 3 networked to the XL.

Sitkatroller,

If you are really seeking RezBoost, I would try to source a TZtouch 3 while they are still available.

So just to confirm. You are saying the only way I can get Rezboost sounder function to TimeZero is to buy a TZT3 unit.

Thanks

Also, if I purchase a TZT3 with Rezboost is that going to give me better performance than using a DFF1-UHD+?

Thanks

Because the B260 (526TID-HDD) has multi-elements on the LF side and both are tuned to the freqs they are working at, it is unlikely Rezboost would offer you much. Rezboost is about post processing target separation for C/W transducers. Because of the multi-elements it will not make as much of a difference compared to a transducer that only has a common element like the B60 or V744V. If that is the focus and the other items about the newer units are not important, some money can be saved by getting the TZT3 and having the feature. Do I think you will see much of a difference using that transducer? No

Thanks Jonny,

As I go down this rabbit hole of trying to select the best transducer (for Salmon fishing) I was informed that a CW transducer was needed for Accufish. I now see that the B265LH which is a chirp transducer is capable of accufish. Would I get better accufish and overall performance out of the B265LH or the 526? I would also be running a 165T-B54. Is there a different accufish TH transducer you would recommend?

Also, does the DFF1-UHD+ offer better performance than going through a MFD? Data will be sent to TimeZero professional so I don’t necessarily need a MFD.

Thanks again.
