@Tyee, one thing also that is possible is to get a Elite Ti 9" with a bundle that include a Y cable with a LSS-2 transducer and it comes with a transom mount transducer HST-WSBL but you could sale the HST and get the P95C-M-BL You get get the bundle for $999

I did some research and couldn't find anything. Airmar put those transducers on the market around september 2016

Correct

Same frequency then the TM-150. The BL if I'm right mean blue connector (Lowrance) and it's a 7 pins. The difference between the 7 andthe 9 is the 9 is a Xsonic transducer. The document that I'm looking maybe not up-to date and maybe the newer model come with the Xsonic functionnality. I will look at it

The only shoot-true CHIRP transducer (that I know) is the P155-M P155C-M..$210... Mix and match connector. • Depth • Optional fast response water- temperature sensor • Hull Type: Solid Fiberglass • Plastic Housing • Ideal for freshwater fishing in shallow to medium depths • No hull protrusions • Hull Deadrise: 0° to 10° recommended • Includes Transducer ID® New “puck” style in-hull, wideband transducer for bass and walleye boats. Whether you are fishing in freshwater or saltwater, this transducer is designed to transmit through fiberglass and aluminum boat hulls. The new P155M operates at 95-155 kHz and is CHIRP-ready! The in-hull is the solution to common issues experienced with transom and trolling motor mount transducers. No more concerns with broken parts or damaging the transducer from sandbars or rocks! 300 W – Broadband • CHIRP-ready across the following frequency band: — Medium-Frequency: 95-155 kHz • 26° & 17° Beamwidth • Depth Range: 122 m to 152 m (400’ to 500’) Recommended Adhesive: 3M® Marine Adhesive Sealant 4200

You can run a LSS-2 and a regular ducer with your Gen-3. The LSS is plug in the black connecor in the back and the P66 in the blue or red transducer plug in back. With a HDS Carbon you can run 2 differents tranducers at the same time because the Carbon got 2 channels (2 processors) Do you want to run the LCX (P66) at the same time you will run the HDS with the Total scan)? Not sure what you want to do.

From waht I know from Lowrance testers those low price unit are very impressive for the cost. You can get a single frequency 40deg on a 200khz, a what they name Splitshot (2D-CHIRP and downscan) and triplshot: down-side scan-2D and CHIRP.. They are suppose to be ship by mid-december (soon) but count more in January. https://www.lowrance.com/lowrance/series/hook2/

If you intent to run the P66 and the Totalscan together you will need to run the totalscan in 83khz because of some possible interference between the 200 from the P66 and the 200 from the totalscan

From Airmar: CHIRP sounders use a precise sweep pattern of many frequencies (28kHz – 210kHz) within a long-duration transmit pulse, sent to a CHIRP transducer. • The equivalent sound energy transmitted into the water is 10 to 1,000 times greater than a conventional marine fishfinder. Resulting in more energy on target. • Results are 5x greater resolution and depth capability than current fishfinders due to the advanced signal processing of the return echo! • Key to the signal processing is knowing what they CHIRP signal looked like. “Pattern Matching”

All depends on your style of fishing. Is the HDS9 a Gen2 or a 3 P66 is a excellent transducer A real CHIRP ducer emit multiple frequency From Airmar doc: CHIRP vs NON-CHIRP Fishfinders • Non-CHIRP fishfinders operate at discrete frequencies of 50kHz and 200kHz • Transmit pulse is only at a discrete frequency • Typical Non-CHIRP fishfinders operate with a maximum duty cycle of 1% - meaning they transmit a voltage to the transducer no more than 1% of the time • Consequently the transmit pulse can be high power but very short duration, limiting the total energy that is transmitted into the water column

It's 2 differents things. Do you want downscan and sidescan? With the Totalscan you can use it in CHIRP but not as good as a real chirp ducer. So it's for you to decide if you want down and sidescan; if you really want down and side you can get a LSS-2 transducer. This transducer is dedicated to down and sidescan only and if you go that way you can use the TM-150 in the same unit.

Lowrance has made some major changes on their website and, some people are complaining about the difficulty to download the newest softwares. I did that short video that show step by step how to get the update. Excuse for the accent but my 1st language is french but I think you will be able to understand and follow.

If I were you I will sale the P66 and get a TM-150 Been there done that

Airmar TM-150 That's a real CHIRP and affordable. You may be able to get some better transducer but you will have to pat $1000+ only for the ducer. The TM-150 is a very nice upgrade on Chirp he is "scanning" from 95 to 155khz and you can also use it on a fix frequencie in the range of 95 to 155. The fishawk run on a fix frequencie of 70Khz so no interference between the 2.

Not sure if you can get a adapter from a Furuno to a Lowrance for you're P66?

If you're P66 is 10 years old you should get a new transducer to fully benefit of you're new Gen-3 and if you don't want to go to a TM-150 get the Lowrrance 50/200 HST-DFSBL or the HDI 50/200/455/800 so you can get the downscan also

I did and it's a very good transducer. I'm running a TM-150 at this moment and I'm very please with it
