RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] sonar question



David,

On reflection, ultrascan is similar to side scan.

Thanks for your answer...you can see how I could have seen this as such concidering the image these produce.

David,

Side scan simplified is just two bottom sounder units turned on their sides with an array of transducers to form a narrow beam.  A past member of this list has (had) a great web site depicting how to build one with two economical Hummingbird units and 8 puck transducers (4 pucks per side wired in series-parallel configuration).  With the advent of the economical Hummingbird (Model 997 ???) side scan unit that Carsten has described on his web site, home-built becomes moot for the power of this unit.  Just build a fish and add some cable to have a very powerful unit.

 

It is not an ultrascan unit.

   A question about side scan sonar....Is side scan sonar essentially an ultrascan machine designed to work in the ocean? I just was just curious.
