Destined_to_succeed Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Wondering how many of you guys have a lowrance or similar type system that uses "chirp" and how you like it? Any tips or advantages? The 700$ price tag worth it since some of the higher end models are up to 3 grand? anyways any help is appreciated thanks guys! Quote

Robeng Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 I have the elite 5 hdi combo-2013. Though, I have not done a side by side comparison to H'bird, my processing speed seems very quick. I talked with a BPS associate who says unless you get the $2k true CHIRP transducer, I would not see much difference from mine. He advised not worth upgrading to CHIRP. I must say though, there are some nice featured Hummingbirds. But I paid under $500 for mine in 2013 and it was on sale last week for $299 in the 5inch size. I advise to check them all ut in the store and see what people say here and through out the reviews on web. Quote
