Amplitude scope - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TJones · 01-16-2014, 04:38 PM

I believe someone ran a post about the Scope on elite 7 not working after reaching 100 of water. I have not registered this unit or done software updates, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether this problem has been addressed and or fixed.? Or is end user majorly screwed ?

Your screwed

Do the software up date and manually set the depth. at that the amp scope still only works to 150ft.

I got my $ back after 4 months of tec support. Then some dude from lowrance called me and said he fixed it, went out and bought another one did the fix and....

It only works up to 150? Or you are waiting to hit water again to test it some more? Thx for help.

and... the more I think about it the more I want to take the damn thing out back and put it out of its misery. basically its a pos. better to go with their recommendation and un check the box that says amplitude scope!

honestly I like the hdi. for what I do works well. just wish manufactures would stand behind there chit.

And saw scope in action , I thought this is gonna be great . It seemed very responsive and very unique . then a friend informed me of problem and I took notice . What a pisser . If the update takes if up to 150 , that's borderline of what I need . Thanks or your help . Other than that issue , it seems like a pretty solid unit . I did not use the downscan to much . What are your opinions? Do you have it mounted in lowrance ready bay?

amp scope wont work in 150ft. if depth setting is on auto. you must change it manually to work. I use the 83khz and map in the ocean and use 200khz sonar and 455khz "downscan" when I fish freshwater. transducer is in the hobie bay on pa12.

ill be at lj tomorrow so ill see if I can get it to work better
