Someone told me that the DI feature drew the battery down while in use... true?
And that you can't see fish readings in the DI mode (but you can split the screen to run normal & DI simultaneously)
It does look interesting to me, especially for FW lake fishing
Thanks for your input
BTW, I just picked up a PA12 yesterday and excited to get it rigged and fishing  |
Why not pick up a unit that has best of both worlds? I just had my inaugural trip with my new lowrance elite 5 hdi. It has down scan plus regular sonar. The reason I got this unit was so that I would not need to upgrade to dsi from traditional sonar or vice versa in the near future. If you are set on a hummingbird they probably have something comparable.
