Bartsch 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. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. - Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC) From: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org

Bartsch 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. Get
