[CA] [CA11] Wonky reports on DS500X Fish Finder

[skipgundlach]

Hi, Chuck,

A followup question:

Our unit is of questionable use, these days, as the temperature is entirely impossible, the speed very intermittent, and the depth non-digital, most of the time (graphics usually represent the essence of where we are, though).

Our failure to get accurate reports from our previous fishfinder's tri-ducer apparently weren't a problem with the sender, as replacing it with the B744 was only marginally better.

I have seen a ds400x for sale, NOS from its appearance. Will this effectively replace my unit, and if so, what significant differences are there between the two?

I use ours for depth, speed, and, if it ever actually would report accurately, water temp, isolated (we abandoned sending NMEA to the plotter) to the unit, as well as the fish images.

Thanks.
