CHIRP stands for 'Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse.' That’s a fancy way of saying it can show you fish that other forms of 2D sonar can’t. How’s that?

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with a
Answer:	It should
Question:	How many pins are on this transducer cable
Answer:	Not sure, but it worked perfectly in my 2015 Tahoe. Bet it will work.
Question:	Does this work on the Helix Gen2 Chirp
Answer:	I have a 2017 Chevy suburban and had to try it multiple different ways to get it to work. Found a helpful video on YouTube and if it didn’t work the first time I would turn it around or flip it over and try to reinstall it. It eventually worked and has been working ever since.
Question:	does this work with humminbird
Answer:	It fixed my 2016 Yukon so I would guess it will work on a 2015. It’s no piece of cake to replace, but if you have skills and the right tools is not too bad. Have to carefully pry apart the screen to get to that connector. Min is an XL so it has two.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the beam angle on this unit? Thanks
Answer:	I had a Europower EP4000 amp and it didn't have enough power for my sing subwoofer so, I traded up for CV-2800 and that maxes out my ts-42 however, after a quik look online for the pmp4000, it seems to have enough poer to get you around 120dBs.
Question:	Does this unit have auto chart live
Answer:	Not without an amplifier or mixer/amplifier combo... this is a passive, or non-powered model. You are probably looking for an active monitor. Try the Eon series. Great option :)
Question:	Is it gn3 or the gn
Answer:	Self Power means that you would not need an external amplifier.
Question:	Difference between G3 and G3N
Answer:	First I will say the speakers are killer and destroy they can go so loud perfect for my outside venue. I run mine off of a mixer board (they are not expensive) so I have a Blootooth reciever into the board going into the speakers. I have not tried it but on other speakers like this I simply used a 3.5mm output from my phone with a 3.5mm TRS to two 6.35 mm TRS plugs that go into the speakers. search for example on amazon "UGREEN 3.5mm 1/8" TRS to Dual 6.35mm 1/4" TS Mono Stereo Y-Cable Splitter Cord Compatible for iPhone, iPod, Computer Sound Cards, CD Players, Multimedia Speakers and Home Stereo Systems 15FT" You could also buy a bluetooth reciever/transmitter and plug the 3.5mm into that so you can walk around with your phone and play tunes that way. For example something like this again on amazon (there are many) APEKX Clip Bluetooth Audio Adapter for Headphones, Headset, Speaker, Wireless Receiver with MIC for Hands-Free Call and Music

User questions & answers

Question:	From the description, the unit comes with Navionics+. Is this true
Answer:	Navionics Gold Compatible from what the Hummingbird site says, meaning you can put the Navionics cards in this unit for the extra chart info and capabilities but in typical Navionics form, they rake you over the coals for it. The Uni-map base maps are quite good from what I have seen from playing around with it in the west central Florida area. Your area may vary because of the amount of info that has been collected on it. One thing to point out is the Base maps here are better than most base maps other companies offer and there is no need to buy the uber expensive map cards from Navionics for your average weekend fisherman or pleasure boater. The Navionics stuff is very specialized....My experience level: 5 years as a Marine Electronics installer and Business owner for 10 years, Raymarine, Garmin, NEMA KVH Certs and 3 FCC Electronics operation and repair licenses.
Question:	does this unit display speed
Answer:	Yes, it does via the GPS.
Question:	Does this model have sidescan as well as downscan imaging
Answer:	No look for the CHIRP SI GPS G2 model
Question:	Does the unit come with transducer
Answer:	It comes with the transducer and flip up mount and the control head mount that rotates up and down. Hope this helps.

Humminbird HELIX 5 G2 Series Fish Finders

There’s no such thing as 'too early' or 'too far.' High expectations go with the territory. The HELIX 5 Series answers the call with an uncompromising widescreen color display. Available on select models, Humminbird CHIRP Digital Sonar and Imaging Sonar reveal the lake bottom, while GPS mapping, AutoChart Live and Humminbird Basemap show you the way.

Feature for feature, it has what it takes to win the day. Do you? No doubt.

Includes transducer and mounting hardware, power cable and gimbal mounting bracket.

2D Sonar

If your goal is to locate and see fish more clearly, start here. Humminbird’s 2D sonar offerings are far from two-dimensional. Whether you’re fishing freshwater lakes, coastal waters or the ice, you’ll find the right solution for your environment and prey.

SwitchFire

SwitchFire lets you control the way your returns appear. With two display modes—Max Mode and Clear Mode—you can choose how much detail, including fish, structure and thermoclines, you want to see or un-see.

Dual Beam

With a wide beam for more search area or a narrow beam for more precision, DualBeam shows you fish and the bottom. DualBeam Plus lets you combine the two beams for even more detail.

Digital CHIRP

CHIRP stands for 'Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse.' That’s a fancy way of saying it can show you fish that other forms of 2D sonar can’t. How’s that? CHIRP scans the water for fish similar to the way the seek function on your truck’s radio scans the airwaves for FM stations. By covering a wide range of frequencies, CHIRP produces more accurate, more detailed returns of fish, structure and the bottom.

Imaging - It's all in the details

Amazing Humminbird Imaging sonar shoots high-frequency beams below the surface to reveal structure, cover and contours with crystal clarity.

Side Imaging - Nowhere to Hide

Gain an unprecedented, side-to-side perspective on the world below the surface with Side Imaging. In an instant, the ultra-thin beam scans the area to the left and right of your boat location. The return image for each slice is then added to the images taken immediately before and after to build an incredible view of the lake bottom. (image displays MEGA Side Imaging)

Down Imaging - Look Out Below

Get a fish-eye’s view of what’s happening below your boat with Down Imaging. These incredible images are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in ultra-thin slices. The sonar returns from these waves produce a 'portrait.' As you patrol the water, you’ll watch timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure pop with stunning detail. (image displays MEGA Down Imaging)

Built-In Basemap - Ready to fish, right out of the box

We’ve enhanced our standard Basemap to deliver more detail and a superior angling experience. The Humminbird Basemap is built into all SOLIX Series and GPS-equipped HELIX Series G2/G2N models. Based on freshwater data from LakeMaster and NOAA, the most-trusted saltwater source, these accurate maps provide you with a clear view of underwater terrain. Identify buoys, daymarkers, hazards, marinas and countless other navigation aids and points of interest with our comprehensive icon system. You’ll also see contours, depth markings and, for coastal areas, spot soundings. On the water, confidence is key. And the Humminbird Basemap delivers.

Autochart Live - Create your map-sterpiece (On select models)

Build richly detailed maps of your favorite fishing spots in real time with Humminbird AutoChart Live, available on the SOLIX Series and all GPS-equipped HELIX Series models. Map the water as you drive the boat, with eight hours of built-in recording time. Once your map is live, view it with vegetation, bottom hardness and depth contours to locate the best fish-holding areas. Also, use it with i-Pilot Link Follow and other patented Humminbird LakeMaster features. The future of digital charting has arrived. Better get on board.

Navigation - Built-In GPS

Get unparalleled GPS technology out of the box. Many Humminbird fishfinders have our powerful Precision GPS/WAAS receiver built right in and provides fast position fixes accurate within 2.5 meters. For those models without it, there are several options: Add the Humminbird Precision GPS/WAAS receiver for permanent GPS capability on your boat. Use Humminbird’s adapter and the NMEA output on your own handheld GPS unit, or use Humminbird’s InterLink to allow two fishfinders to access one GPS receiver.
