"Also, since I don't use a FF much, I'm wondering if a cheap unit can be converted to "scan" mode by tilting the transducer angle at various angles. It would be nice to expand the cone and even go to side scan without using separate transducers.... That would make it more useful for me."
[#0000FF]Not an easy fix by moving the transducer around. They don't even work well on slanting slopes. They need to get a good straight shot at bottom...running at a 90 degree angle from the beam. If you pick up the transducer and start waving it around you get nothing...at least on the ones I have tried.[/#0000FF]
