The only problem I am having is fishing next to my son with my old fl8se, I can not get rid of the interference from his machine, anyone else have this problem when fishing around others?
Never had that issue especially when I flip on the NBT, try that if your heavy into fish and need a quick fix. Adjust your gain down and use a more horizontal presentation this will also help... You can still fish wide beam and experiment with different settings. Try one IR off and one on and so on. I have never been able to not fish a LX-5 because of interference. You can virtually eliminate 90% to all in most situations. Transducer placement below the bottom of the ice is critical. Good luck...
Are you guys fishing rock?
Well normally what is your gain set on when fishing? Did you try dropping the transducers a bit further down? If that doesn't fair well my bet would be customer service for possible suggestions other than the one's I mentioned. Did it do it all day even when you moved?
Give customer service a call Jon or Chris will be able to help you.
Just to let you guys know the new 2008 LX-5's Mainedog and I recently received have not had the screen print on the box cover updated to read 2,500 watts This glitch will be fixed. Inside your LX-5 box you will have a user manual revision dtd 9/5/08 on page 3 it will have the new power requirements. Also if your softpack has no LX-5 logo embroidered on the bottom right of your front cover it is a new 08 model. That's the easiest way to tell.
Here's what I know the first 200 units shipped with 2,000 watts printed on the outside of the boxes and no logos on the front of the softpack also 75 more units were shipped with embroidered LX-5 on the front of the pack. Bottomline is if you have the Nature Vision 8 x 11 manual you have the 2500 watts. Perchchaser looks like you were one of 75 that received an embroidered one which personally looks better.
