first LX7 transducer noisy - can you answer a ?

[hunt3r]

hi this is my first flasher i got a lx7. just wondering if the transducer is supposed to make this noice when its in the water like a crackling buzz. also does any one else out there have a lx7 can you tell me what the battery says on it? I bought this off C.L. and was told it was never used and it dosnt look like it but i want to be safe. Thanks for any help

A soft "clicking" sound is normal. Could you describe the sound you hear with a bit more detail?

[hunt3r]

more of a buzz but the ting was set on 4 of 4 so it was set for water over 40 ft and i was testing it in a 5 gallon bucket it was just louder than i expected. it was a soft clicking outside the water but when i put it in the water it got louder. its almost dead now so i put it on the charger i will try again later

It really doesn't matter what it is set for, it will always sound the same. That sounds about normal, they are louder than you think they should be

[tsande00]

The sound will be more amplified in a bucket because the noise from the 'ducer will be bouncing off the sides of the pail creating almost a speaker effect.

Sounds normal. Have fun fishing!

[Esox_Magnum]

Make sure you have the latest software version on it too.

Try taking it to a lake and put it in the water off a dock or a pier.

[TruthWalleyes]

I would not expect your flasher to pick up your jig in a bucket...just wait a few weeks for ice.

how can you tell what version its running at?

turn the unit on and press the menu button. once the menu screen comes up got to the systems setting option and press the menu button this will bring up the setting screen. at the top of this screen it willl list what version you have. you need to upgrade to 2.9 if you don't have it.
