That is possible of course but the dedicated DI unit gives a much better Di image than the Si unit. In fact the customer these two units ended up with just put a 12 mega on the console but kept the di unit next to it.
Randy Holder they do but the di from a di transducer is much better than di from the H.D. transducer. With the new mega units this video doesn’t apply as they have their own di element in the transducer. To get that before a person had to run either onix or a di unit.
James W ok, I'm trying to understand this....so you're saying the di screen from say a helix 9 si unit wth the standard tran sducer or even wth the hd transducer isn't as good as the di screen on a helix di unit wth the standard transducer? Unless it's the new mega series.
That is what my testing has shown. It's all about the number of sonar elements in the transducer. Gen 1 and core have 3 elements and the new mega units have 4. They have a dedicated di element the others don't have.
Jigging mode gives 2d sonar priority over side imaging in the sequence of sonar, left side, and right side imaging.
You can use the same transducer for both
Network them together and use one transducer.

Doesn't helix 9, 10 and 12 have the ability to use si and di at the same time on one unit wth the hd tramsducer?

You can’t run two transducers at the same time or they’ll ping off one another that’s why this guy is having interference
Randy Holder yes it can but you have to purchase the si helix model

Can I have si and di without spending 3 grand? 😂
