Castinski Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I hit the ice for the first time this season today. The outing was a good one except for one issue. I turned my LX-5 on and had problems reading the bottom right away. After some fiddling with the gain, I was able to pick up the bottom and my jig, but barely. The only signal I could get was a yellow bottom/jig. I had a spare battery along (brand new) and that did not solve the problem. Both batteries work fine with my backup unit (vx-1).Has anyone had/heard of this issue? I'm thinking it may be a bad transducer. Any other ideas I should be on the look-out for?

PerchJerker Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Bad transducer or bad battery would be my first two guesses. Sounds like you've ruled out a bad battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foulpole18 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Bad ducer. I had the same problem last year. New ducer fixed everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 See the above Marcum ? post and you will get a contact number. John Marshal has been very helpful and good to work with. Oh and quite the character I may add! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castinski Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Well, swapped out transducers and that didn't fix the problem. Looks like I'll be sending it in. Must be a problem with the head unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperybob Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The problem is with the assembly of the range knob. It has some spring metal contact points that needs a little fine tuning. I fiddle with my knob to get my unit working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
