Transducer RV 220 pair

ReelAttitudeBDA,

The mention of a second transducer within the referenced BoatingAdvice YouTube video was not a reference to an Axiom RV220 pair. It was instead inferring that as the Axiom RV and Axim DV MFDs additionally feature internal 600W 50kHz / 200kHz fishfinder sonar circuitry, these MFDs may simultaneously be interfaced to a compatible 50kHz / 200kHz fishfinder transducer to additionally support traditional 50kHz / 200kHz operation in depths greater than would be supported by the RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducer and RealVision 3Dâ„¢ processing circuitry of the MFD. Axiom MFDs are not forward looking sonar products. Any increase in forward bottom coverage associated with additionally interfacing a 50kHz / 200kHz transducer would be associated with a potential increase in the cone angle specification for the 50kHz / 200kHz transducer over the 25 degree cone angle provided by the CHIRP (conical) element of the RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducer(s).

The RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducer(s) are not designed to interfaced to an ax8 MFD, eSx8 MFD, or CP100. However, following the LightHouse 3 software update for a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs, these MFDs may be interfaced with the Axiom RV MFDs w/RealVision 3Dâ„¢ transducer(s) to support RealVision 3Dâ„¢ features on the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD.
