    In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzread.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

    Great video! How does the Active Imaging HD and 3-in-1 compare to the Garmin GT56? I’m considering between the new UHD2 93sv (with GT56) and a reduced price HDS Live 9 (with Active Imaging 3-in-1). The UHD2 is new, but the HDS Live is a higher tier (e.g. better resolution) but older (older transducer). Thanks!!

    dont get me wrong, i was waiting this entire time for lowrance to catch up knowing it would be a leap in performance we havent yet seen from them, but the fact i have 2 hds carbon 9's at my console and an HDS Live 12 on my bow, with active target (which is getting ripped off and sold today), i STILL need to not only spend 950$ for a module to get what humm and Garmin get without another box in my boat, for no where NEAR the price!! Active Imaging HD = 400$, 3100 Module = over 1,000$ after tax, Active Target 2 to replace my original = 1,600-1,800$. all in all well north of 3,000$ for upgrades which i refuse to do now.. Will be selling both carbons and live and Active target with a 3 in 1 transducer and seperate chirp ducer if anyones interested! Hello Livescope and Garmin for not being greedy assholes on a less than 2 year old Unit! Never owned anything but lowrance but this stone cold ticks me off! #sorryfortherant!

    I understand in order to get the sidescan fish reveal option, you need the S3100 module, whether you have the Pro or Live. Couldn’t you save money and get this option by just getting the Live and pairing the HD3-1 transducer/S3100 module combo instead of the Pro with the same thing? Thanks!

    So am I reading this right, that if you have a HSD Carbon or HDS Live and don't want Fish reveal but you want better side scan/downscan with the AIHD ducers, you can connected the AIHD 3-1 directly to your units and you don't need the new S3100 network module?

    Nope. If you wan to use the new AIHD 3-in-1 on an Elite fs, HDS live or HDS carbon you will need the S3100 box. With the HDS pro you will still need it to get the sidescan fish reveal, but not the new Mhz range on the side and downscan.

    It will make a difference for sure. Screen resolution will play a role but you'll get bigger gains from AIHD being Chirp and in the megahertz range

Will they link and share information from the 3 in 1 transducer. I don"t expect the same detailed images on the Gen 3 units just want to be able to get the same quality as the Gen 3's originally have. I was told they would link with no problem. Thank You

    I have Carbon units...currently with a SS 3d Transducer. I was going to replace that with a S3100 & AI HD Med/HighTransducer. I was also planning to combine that with the Airmar TM165HW. The Airmar would give me the High & Wide. I was thinking the Airmar would be a better 2D transducer. Can I use the Airmar transducer for fish reveal? Is this a good combination? What are your thoughts?

    May i ask how lowrance have been in the lead to begin with? Bit of a bold statement considering the level of detail you get with a Humminbird unit or Garmin running the GT54 or GT56 transducer trumps that of the Lowrance units in shallow water applications due to the higher frequencies.

    What are you going on about? Lowerance doesn't lead anything, and with the new screens for the new insane prices they still won't. Even the GPS is far superior on Garmin. The only thing it does better is the UI, mostly for the people that want to plug and play. For the more advanced users I would say that their settings and UI are a bit too simple. Can you please tell what you think makes them ahead of the competition? They are for example almost 8 years late with Mhz sidescan.
