Steve, both Lowrance and HBird's obviously send out an analog signal (the ping) which is then returned to the boat and eventually in one of the processess gets converted to a digital signal. Maybe the Lowrance turns their signal into a digital one a step or two earlier in the game. Exactly where it happens from the transducer to your screen is probably a question for the actual programmers at the respective companies, and probably one they wouldn't tell you anyway.
