heres my situation...
I have a lcx18c & lcx19c units in perfect working order from my previous boat, but stopped using them due to the gps antenna/module failing to pick up signal...now my new boat "chubby" has an hds7 unit at the main helm, this runs off internal antenna...but I noticed it still had an external antenna installed, sure enough, its the right one for my lcx's...find the cable, plug it in to the lcx19 and bingo position aquired!!
so for now to save some $$$ I will use my lcx as my rear unit (@ rear helm) the only thing I need/want to purchas is a transducer as the one off the lcx's was slow to pick up bottom towards the end...
so my questions are...
1) are the airmar p66 actually as good as I read???...or should I scick with lowrance skimmer???
2) will the lcx's do the p66 justice???(as this is the unit that will be fished from the most)(the lcx18 has kinda poor reselution but the lcx19 is substantially higher reselution)
3) if not should I use the p66 on the hds and transfer the lowrance skimmer to the lcx's?? (I realize I will lose surface temp reading)
let me know what you guys think...
