hi

I think your firmware version is the problem. To my knowledge, the 6.6er version is no supported. So you have to go back in the firmware version.

hi

I use DrDepth 5.1.8 BTSS and 5.4 as firmware of HB.
Now I have sought and read in DrDepth forum that the HB firmware up to 6.49 is supports .

hi
can you make a screen capture of your problem with drdepht and post it,?.
i have not the same thing, before upgrading drdepht, it's not showing mosaïc.
all thing are ok now it's why i'm not upgrade my 898 after this problem.
drdepht is a nice soft and i don't want to loose it !

hi

If you want to use DrDepth 5.1.8 you will have no choice but to reset your unit to 6:49.
Whether Jonson's Outdors, the new owner of DrDepth, will update the software and this for free :( , I do not think so, but remains to be seen.

the only problem is that there is not a 6.4 for the 1197 what about 6.18 as they are both available for the 1198 and the 1197?

hi

The main thing is not higher than 6:49, deeper is not a problem.
Ask Greg where you can download the appropriate firmware.
