Hi!
I'm new here and have a question about buying a new but second sonar device.
Already I have a Helix12, but I wish to buy a second device, a smaller one and more portable
and of course cheaper. The main reason to buy a second device is for quicker packaging, lighter
and quicker to setup in my boat for quick checking and recording.
For more sophisticated checking I would use my Helix12 device on my bigger boat.

So, what can you advice which device would be the bare minimum to buy to still have the ability to
record the scanned area and use it in the ReefMaster Viewer too.

Thank you.

Sorry for late reply on this one. The main thing to note is that cheaper/smaller units that are running the same transucer as bigger units will give the same results when logging - mostly you are paying for a bigger screen. Any small HB Helix should work as well as your 12, and if you are not restricting yoruself to HB then Lowrance have some capable and cheaper smaller units as well - the Elite range works well, although Lowrance SI transducers tend to be larger than HB ones if that is a consideration.
