Bird Experts - Solix 10 - is there a gen3 ??

[Netbender]

  Humminbird Solix 10 Chirp Mega Si Gps Combo - Looking at one of these, also see g2, but noticed some of the other birds have a g3 option. Is the g2 the latest? Looks like the DI only goes to 125'? How is the picture below 125'?

 

Thanks, Dave

A solix gen 2 is the same imaging as a gen 3 helix and the di goes to 200 not 125.  The only difference between the 2 is the touch screen.

Thanks,  for the help with the 3 vs 2. Still unclear on the Di - here is the product description from Hodgesmarine:

Depth Capability: 125 ft(DI) 400 ft(DI-455kHz)1500 ft, 3500 ft* & 5000 ft*

Second frequency needed past 125’?

I was researching the exact same thing the other day and best I can tell there is a solix gen 3 coming with the enhanced Mega capabilities like on the Helix gen 3 but it's not there yet. I saw the same thing you did to where it was saying on the solix gen2 the mega only went to 125 ft. Perhaps the gentleman above  owns a solex in a speaking  from personal experience and the Gen 2 on the solix already has the enhanced capabilities. My next call was going to be to hummingbird as they will obviously know the answer.

Sounds good FishnChef, please let me know what you find out after you call them. This is a lot of money for this unit, would like to get the latest.

It will only be the latest for a few months I'm sure LOL. I bought the Gen 2 Helix 10 mega SI because I wanted the latest and then 3 months later they come out with the Gen 3. It never ends

Justtracytrolling is right on. The Solix gen2 goes to 200' mega Di. The model previous (non g2) only goes to 125' mega Di.

 

Thanks for your inputs!
