[CA] [CA11] Axiom Questions

Q1. If I network two Axioms together, can I attach a thru hull chirp to one and if so, what P/N for the transducer?
A1. If networking an Axiom MFD DV in addition to Axiom RV MFD w/RV transducer and 50kHz / 200kHz transducer, then a CPT-S CHIRP transducer would be recommended for the second Axiom MFD. Doing so would then permit each of the MFD's support RealVision 3D sonar, SideVision, DownVision, 900' high CHIRP conical sonar, and 600W 50kHz/200 kHz sonar. The CPT-S transducers are available in both low profile thru-hull (including tilted element) and transom mounted models. Unlike Axiom Pro RV MFDs, compatible CHIRP transducers cannot be directly connected to Axiom MFDs. However, should a CP470 CHIRP Sounder Module be networked (via a HS5 RayNet Network Switch) to the system of Axiom MFDs, then a 1kW CHIRP transducer may be used with the CP470.

Q2. If I use a single Axiom pro, what thru-hull transducer(s) for chirp?
A2. Axiom Pro RV MFDs as well as CP470/CP570 transducers are compatible with any of the CHIRP transducers found here.

Q3. My application is up to 200', with most work in 70' or less of water.
A3. A high wide CHIRP transducer would typically be recommended for such shallow water applications.
