Check out the Standard Horizon unit. At one time I believe it was the ONLY unit to use the chip. Not certain but I believe the i stands for internal antennae. There is also a unit that uses and external antennae. I think the external antenna is more adaptable if you are steering from a hardtop cabin.
I also have the optional fishfinder plug in. Does a fairly good job, but I use it more as a sounder.....

Lakesrider, You said you had the blackbox fishfinder as well? I am thinking of adding it in early spring. Could you message me (or if its relevant, respond here) with info on the FF. We fish minimally but might fish more with the FF. We would primarily use it for accuarte depths, temp and bottom conditions. Is it hard to install, expensive, worthwhile etc????

Thanks in advance,
The more I think about it the more this info is probably relevant to the original post.
