If not did you use the same transducer setup for both units?

The fact that both units had the exact same rather bizarre issue suggests that it's not the units themselves but either default setting they came with or a issue with the transducer install. Default setting seems unlikely because there's not a bunch of people with the same problem.

That leaves the transducer... I'd pull the transducer out of it's mount hook it to the unit direct then drop it over the side down away from the yak and see if it's still's a problem.

I brought the new transducer with me to test today. I hung it over the side like you said (had high hopes) it did the same thing. amp scope goes blank past 100ft. I cant believe I'm the only one with this problem. I guess that solves the mystery of a boched install or bad ducer, the unit is also new. all this leads me to believe that lowrance still SUCKS!!!

I will return to bass pro if they let me. I might try the same unit but with the 50/200 455/800 if I could get some proof that the amp scope works on that one. I really like the layout of the elite-7 but cant accept the amp scope not working.

Thanks guys for the help/ ideas on how to test this p.o.s.
