Well I purchased an FL-18 over X-mas. I have a 30-day return policy on it and after using it this past week on LOW I think I may need to return it for a new one.
The first few days were fine, but then one afternoon I started noticing this porblem. I could be fishing just fine with the unit, gain set just high enough to see my jig. I would reel up after catching a fish or loosing my bait. Go to put the line back down and it wouldn't show up on the flasher. Jig for a a few seconds and still nothing. I would have to crank the gain all the way up to find my jig and then turn it back down again. This started happening so consistently that I finally just got in the habit of cranking it up and turning it down. It seemed as if the unit would sort of go to "sleep" or something?
Has anyone else seen this? Is it a problem with the transducer or the flasher itself?
