Echo sounder with a transducer

[thorarinnp14]

Hi guys, Im working on sending an unmanned boat to map the substrate of a water. I have a transducer (B75H Airmar). My question is what echo sounder is most preferred with this transducer?. I need to be able to send the data captured by the echo sounder wirelessly. Do you have any recommendations for me?.

i would contact who ever makes the transducer and ask them

Yes, ok thanks, I have already done that and waiting for a reply.

The airmar B75H is a pretty generic spread spectrum transducer. It will work with a number of CHIRP sounders depending on the connector wired on the end of the cable.

thorarinnp, I actually researched your transducer and I can tell you a lot of Depth Locators sell that same transducer. And it isn't cheap either. It is in the $600 dollar range and up. And depending on the model, it is used in 130-210 khz range and can be either a 9 degree, 12 degree, or a 20 degree cone setup. And it is good 'til around 1000 feet as well. So most any depth sounder that can produce those frequencies could be used. The one I checked on is recommended for use with a BSM-3 broadband sounder module. SonarHub sounder and NSS Evo2 multifunction display. So I would call or contact a few depth locator manufacturers to see if it could work with their products. JMHO
