Who uses DI or SI sonar?

[JohnMickish]

I do and I know Reddog does. I'm just wondering if there are enough people that use SI/DI that we could start another forum, post snapshots and try to learn from each other.

+1 for DI. Great idea, even with all the videos online to learn from the common mans experience pooled together I think is very valuable.

[StillwaterAaron]

I have had SI for about 5 years and DI I updated just this summer.

I am still learning to read it better and relearn some every spring. I would love to get more tips from others.

[CAMAN]

I've had SI for a few years and just haven't gotten around to updating to DI. But it would be kinda cool to have atleast a Sonar forum for all related questions, tips, and sharing.

[reddog]

SI for me. Had it since 08, and I learn something new either with it, or about it every time out... gettin ready to pull the trigger on a new 1198 and Ilink...

[Nick Kuhn]

Been using it for 3 seasons now. I know some lakes so well now I find myself looking at it less and less.

[AaronM]

I use both. I have found DI to be much more accurate than traditional 2D sonar displays. Really shortens the learning curve to figure out what you are looking at.

[Kyhl]

I used all three this year. They all have their uses. Traditional sonar, DI, and SI.

I never think to keep screen grags though so I would have no images to add.

[Random guy]

I use SI as on Upper Red I have a lot more sideways then I have down.

I love bringing back screen captures of stuff I have tried to explain for years.

[JohnMickish]

OK, I'll see if we can add another forum.

Great idea. Year one with my SI DI unit and loving it!

[PerchJerker]

I do and I love them. Although I guess mine are technically SS and DS instead of SI and DI Oh well.

I think it's a great idea!

Anybody want to restore a car or truck?

Second party playbacks of recordings (this is HumViewer) is a whole nother subject...

Me too...I go to other forums for my HB resources.. Would be nice to have a dedicated SI/DI Image Intrepretation board on here.

That's OK, you Lowrance guys will be welcome too!

I need to break mine again within the next 30 days to maintain a warranty Bought in April 2011...and i still have a valid 1yr warranty

Exactly what I was thinking, which is reason number two why I don't ice fish!

If you sign up for Humminbird Select, (free), you get a special hotline to the CS department AND you get a 2 year warranty, plus a few more perks.

I'd sign up now, while youre still under warranty.

Even if youre not under warranty, you can sign up and get the perks, and the hotline..

[Fish Head]

This year was my first year with SI and DI. I think that would be great to have a forum devoted to it.

I'll have to do that. Mine has taken a few overnight flights to Alabama in the last 18 months for repairs - keeping the warranty alive. I called HBird directly before my last return and they said that they offer NOTHING beyond a year, not even a warranty taht you can buy.

Reddog, My latest problem is with waypoints. I've got 1,600 running on a 8GB SanDisk Estreme iii 30MB/s - It's freezing up anytime the card is in the unit. I was using a cheap MaxFlash sd card and HBird suggested that i get a faster card. HB says that beyone 1,000 waypoints things start to slow down...That's crazy. I put down that many waypoints in a year.

Any help or tips? I'm tempted to go through my waypoints and delete some - but that is very very hard to do (Hate removing waypoints)

Any help is appreciated.

Another vote for a SI/DI forum.

I did sign up for select... i am way point obsessed... but i only mark structure and not fish that i catch... Mostly so i have all structure marked for ice fishing.
