Lx7 What's the latest?

[Jimmy from Cottage Grove]

Thanks got it. I didn't have any problems with mine flicking on and off. It was just the gain was way to sensitive, I don't like my bait to be shown so big on the screen. It reminded me too much of a vexilar with that big blob. Did you notice anything like that? Did anyone get a cord to connect there unit to a computer?

the Marcum rep at the show said the unit had the USB "capability" for future use in downloading information but that it was not in use yet.

Thanks for the info. Did you get your lx-7 yet?

Just a quick update, got out with the lx7 again today and the problem with the bottom and my bait flickering off for about 1/2 second or so, every so often, was gone. Maybe having a good overnight charge on the battery had something to do with it but it says the battery comes fully charged and ready to fish. Still had the issue with the auto range going to 40' when fishing in 13' and the flasher display reading 3 feet less when the flasher mode is used without one of the vertical displays. I did have the center number display in the flasher completely disappear when changing the range and had to turn the unit off to get it back.

After today the lx7 is starting to grow on me more. You sure don't get the thin lines like the lx5, it reminds me more of the ice-55 with the thicker lines.

No i have not received my unit yet, I have been in contact with GM and honestly they cannot give me an answer either. They said they have been in contact with Marcum and could only tell me they were waiting on a response back from Marcum. All i know is it has not been shipped and i have no answer as to when.

The way I understand it.......The target sensitivity adjusts the size of your "marks" without increasing gain. This eliminates clutter you would normally pick up from micro organizms in the water.

[Kodiak]

there was one at gander in ep last night on display

[Chaws]

There were quite a few on the shelf at the Big C in East Grand Forks on Friday evening.

So is the "Sensitivity" button actually the "Gain" button? there is nothing labeled "Gain" in the menu or front panel buttons.

I emailed marcum about my owners manual missing and this was there response.

Hi There,

Thanks for your recent purchase of an LX-7. The functions of the LX-7 are likely to change as updates become available, so we did not print manuals for them, but instead opted to make them available on-line, where changes can easily be made. This has become standard for most electronic devices, and has been well received by our customers so far.

You can view/download/print all of our User’s Guides here: Marcum manuals

Thanks again and have a great ice season,

Anyone get their LX-7 from Gander Mountain yet? I am thinking about canceling my order after they missed thier own delivery date and have not responded to multiple e-mails asking for a status update. I was excited about saving $100, but at this point I would rather spend the extra money at a store that places value on customer service.

[Hardyboy]

I received an email this morning from gander mountain that mine would be shipping today from marcum and that i would get it by friday. You have to call customer service then have them transfer you to the dropship department.

[Evobassfish]

I'm in the same boat as your are. I have called gander twice and got the same story from them. If the third time is not the charm I will cancel and to make matters worse they already took the money out of my account, which is something they weren't supposed to do unless item had shipped.

[Evobassfish]

Hardy, did you get a shipping confirmation or tracking #?

[Evobassfish]

Just got off the phone with gander and same old story so I just canceled my order. Good luck with gander mtn guys.

[Hardyboy]

Regular customer service never knew what was going on but the dropship department did. I did not get a tracking # but the email said marcum would ship it today so i would imagine marcum would have the shipping info. Sorry you had to cancel but i couldnt bring myself to cancel with that kind of savings.

[Evobassfish]

Drop ship dept. was who I contacted also and same story. So did you get that email from gander or directly from Marcum? With out a confirmation or tracking # its sounding like the first email we got from them about being shipped on the 15th.

[Hardyboy]

I received the email directly from the manager of the department that said marcum contacted them and that it would ship today from marcum and that i would receive it by friday. That is way more concrete than any info i have received so far. Ill cross my fingers and give you an update if i hear more.

[Evobassfish]

*update* I guess all you need to do is give them a little motivation and you'll get what you want. I just got an email that sounds pretty promising that my order has been shipped already. Guess I'll cross my fingers also and see what happens even though I did mention to them that I wanted to cancel my order anyways.

[Hardyboy]

I was gonna mention that if they charged you that marcum probably shipped it.cross your fingers that its comin and you still got a good deal.

Agree with Jimmy on every point and also had an lx-5 in the same house. The screen needs a little higher resolution and the sensitivity needs finer increments. Also, even in the owners manual, which you get on line, it does not state what target sensitivity is for. It worked best for me with target sensitivity on 0. It took me a while to get the settings right, but I am happy with it. I really liked the side-by-side display of vertical zoom and graph windows. The battery lasted 10 hours no problem. It was great seeing fish come off the bottom after the jig and was amazing to see that some colors / jig styles simply could not draw them up but time after time others did.

Reeds is one of the worse stores out there IMO. No wonder some of you guy's are waiting so long.

I ordered and received a brand new LX-5 Transducer that is cracked down the side like it got dropped a few times. Emailed them twice now in the past 3-4 days with no response yet.

It's the first time I've ever ordered anything from them and probably the last, they didn't make a good impression on me.

[Chaws]

Maybe you should call them? That usually works pretty well with smaller stores like Reeds.

[Hardyboy]

Well The Fed Ex driver was just here and im now looking at my brand new LX7!!! Ill play with it some today and get used to the controls and take it for its first ice trip tomorrow. Got the email yesterday that it was going to be shipped and arrive Friday and received it today.
