Date: 13 January 2010

Time: 11h00

Venue: Inanda Dam Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa

Test: Lowrance HDS8 with LSS-1 v.s Humminbird 1197cxSI with Hi-Def Side Imaging with software 4.750 (Down Imaging)

Setup: Both transducers are mounted side by side on the starboard side of the transom

Conclusion: The Humminbird definitely performs better in the 455kHz range than the 800kHz, but still lacks somewhat when compared to the Lowrance LSS-1.
