Sorry to here that Icelogger. This confirms that lowrance SUCKS. I can only recommend you take it back before it's to late.

I lucked out and am sending the unit back to basspro for a full refund! Basspro is a cool company they are taking back the ff that is 6 months old when there store policy is 30 days on electronics. Wow I could not recommend a company like Basspro enough, they have been great!

You sound like you work for Hummingbird. I was just asking a question. Take it you don't have an answer other than you like to see the different colors on the right side of the screen (amplitude)???
Thought I might be missing some key cryptic information in the amplitude that would enhance my fishing experience. Guess not??

Sorry I didn't mean to come off like an ass. Its just, that is basically what Lowrance told me.

here is one instance you want your amp scope working. say you are fishing 120ft of water drifting for wsb with you bait on the bottom all the sudden you start to see a section of the amp scope with a thick yellow bar at 60 ft. well I want to get my bait to that depth asap.

No problem, okay, I'm seeing what your saying. But don't you also get the image on the screen? Or does the amplitude scope add something more?
Thanks

Eli,

Lucas from Lowrance should be in contact with you soon. I passed along to him your email along with this thread to see what he can do on a more personal level.

Thanks Siebler! Unfortunately I literally just got back from dropping off the box for return. I would love to hear form someone with inside info. I really loved the layout of the elite-7 over all the other ones I played with at the store and am more than willing to buy the same unit if I can get some proof that they work.

Good lookin out

Sounds like there may be another software update but he needed more info from you on the problem to see if this will fix it. Hopefully you guys can figure it out!

OEX Sells hundreds of Lowrance units every year and would not carry anything else. Our experience with their units and the company have been outstanding. Their relationship with kayak fishing is becoming one of the strongest with support from Hobie and Malibu i see these guys growing to better meet the needs of this industry.

Here are a few screen shots to show my amplitude findings. FYI, my screen shots look different because I have fish id ON in these pictures.

I got a call from Lucas today. Nice guy, he told me he has a fix and emailed it to me. The fix should be available sometime soon on their website.

I plan on buying another unit with the 83 transducer as soon as I get the refund from the one I sent back. I wish I had been a little more patient before sending it back. Oh well I learn by living.

My finale conclusion lowrance does NOT suck.

thanks ice logger for posting the screenshot. check your email!
