Had my new Elite 7 CHIRP (Compressed High Intensity Radar Pulse) delivered about 10 days ago and have had three trips on three different lakes to test it out.In summary, it is awesome.As stated before and in my own words CHIRP bridges the gap and in some cases jumps the gap between traditional sonar with HDI and HDS with Structure Scan. The gap it bridges is related to cost. It is not as expensive as HDS with Structure Scan. It does jump the gap in the sense that color definition of fish/bait is greater than traditional sonar with HDI.I would even debate that CHIRP (depending on how you fish and for certain species) is equal to or better than HDS with Structure Scan.

I still need to play with it a bit more and get the HDI Skimmer 83/200 455/800 transducer as opposed to the standard 83/200 transducer.Adding DownScan to the screen will make it even better.
