Ryder The Blue View unit when we bought it was a lot of money but if I
remember the money was for the repeater not the unit itself because it is on an
ROV it has a paten bottle with a repeater in it, and it works very well it
shows nets lines fish anything that would produce an echo, as I remember the
email from them the price was less than half, http://www.blueview.com/software.html
there is a video on here shows a unit working they don’t list the unit I have
but I will try to locate the email and forward the info the other unit I have
not run yet but it’ s very similar and cheaper from my understanding I will be
testing it out when we get back to Boston and will share my findings its built
in the UK and has no FCC rating that was one problem getting it shipped from
Canada Mike Caudle can fill you in more detail on that unit Brian V. Ryder CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any

the best model for us and do they detect ropes and fishing nets? Those
are my biggest concern in murky water. I will try and contact them but if you have a heads up on it it
would certainly help. Chs Hugh From:

[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of Hugh Fulton Hi Jim, I have just got all excited about side scanners and checked with
the Humminbird guy and they have 798 model but it wont work as a forward
scanner. The reason is that it takes a slice for a scan and the lovely
picture is just the memory of the slices it takes as you move forward.
However there is a guy in Norway who is using the software and developing
a forward scanner. Hope that explains it all . The only forward scanners
really are Echopilot and Interphase. Both are Radar type images. It
would be nice to get a nice view like the side scanners form towing arrays but
they only produce that lovely image from the “slice” moving forward. Regards, Hugh From:

tds.net Hi Hugh, I am using a Humminbird 797. It is a last years model that
was selling for $795.00 but was discontinued and replaced by a new model. I was
able to find old stock at another Gander Mountain store and get the unit for
$595.00 brand new. I'm not sure if that's great pricing or not. I have had the
unit for about 2 months or so. Best Regards, Jim K On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 12:53 AM, Hugh Fulton <hc.fulton@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Jim, What side scan are you using and how
much etc. I was looking at them in a magazine and thinking they are what
we need but don’t know if there is a reasonably priced one. Chs

On Behalf Of kocpnt tds.net Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] depth gauges Hi
Alan, I
was concerned about that myself, but will have a side scan sonar aboard and the
side benefit is a distance to the bottom reading. While
really not a depth gauge as the reading will vary with bottom structure and
depth, it should let me know quickly how well I have achieved neutral bouyancy. I'll
let you know how well it works when I'm done testing. Best

being in an old quarry where the visibility was bad & when I hit a thermocline it just went black. I
didn't know wether I was going up or down half the time. Was thinking from this experience that I'd like a
digital depth readout in my sub in fine increments of at least 6 inch depth deviations. Is there anything like that out there that
would be suitable? And if so how is it set up. ie. is the pressure
sensor outside the sub with wires through the hull or is it on the
inside threaded into a hull penetration or something. Any thoughts on anything that might be adaptable to
this purpose would be appreciated also. Regards Alan __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature
