Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | OK, Al, thanks! Fianlly, a couple answers from someone who should know and isn't just peeing on a post to mark territory...I think. Perhaps a dumb question...Is it possible that the digital signal can be still processed by the display as analog, similar to a CRT Monitor or an LCD monitor without the DVI Interface hooked up my Dell?
This is a 'talked about' enough issue by consumers looking for comparisons between the brands one would think a company like Bird would want to address it directly...maybe we can offer up a chance to do so.
I didn't listen to any salesman (in fact don't know any from either company) at all, but did hear claims second hand from both sides about the competitor's units that could be suspect. I'll try to contact Bird directly Monday to get an official take on all of this, and do the same thing with Lowrance. I buy my sonars right off the shelf at the store like most everyone else, and have no allegiance to either company, so anyone trying to read that in to this can cease...it's tiresome and detracts from actually trying to get at the facts of the matter.
I would think the answer to this question would be out there in the company literature somewhere, especially if the specs on the unit are not clearly understood by the consumer.
I'll get to test the customer service from Humminbird Monday, my new unit I just installed suddenly decides there's no transducer connected and goes into simulator mode. Restart, and all is well for awhile. Weird. I brought an extra unit off my 2050 along, and it works fine on the same transducer. Ghosts in the machine... |
