Fishing Articles : LX-6 Digital Sonar System

Picture a roomful of sonar engineers scurrying around a laboratory like players on the gridiron. Garbed in their 揾ome?uniforms梬hite labcoats and pens in pocket protectors梩hese brilliant electronics minds huddle, scheme and then hurry off in independent directions, each attending to a particular piece of micro-circuitry.

Unlike a sports team, however, the players for Team MarCum never take a break. For them, halftime doesn抰 exist; timeouts don抰 compute. In fact, the game itself never ends. Even while others in the ice category linger in a perpetual timeout mode, MarCum continues to innovate梩o go beyond anglers?wildest expectations; to grant their fish-finding wishes. Consider MarCum抯 new LX-6 Digital Sonar System. Long before sonar fans clamored for a smaller, lighter LX-7, MarCum was already well on its way to perfecting such a system. Housed inside a compact flatscreen, LX-6 contains the sweeping technology and features present in its transformative big brother, last winter抯 smash hit LX-7.
To aid the game of interactively hunting fish on frozen water, LX-6 displays a powerful armada of sonar data on a 6-inch (640 x 480px) high-resolution color LCD. The drop in weight and bulk hasn抰 gone unnoticed by active anglers such as national ice champion and Ice Force teammate Tony Boshold. 揅ouldn抰 tell you how MarCum does it梒ramming so much passion and power into such a small package. Just glad they do, because the LX-6 simply screams. Thing gives me totally customizable views桰 like to run on info overload, so I go with 3-way vertical graph / flasher / vertical zoom mode for the ultimate in fish discovery and lure surveillance.?

Operating with a full menu of famed patented sonar features梖rom infinitely adjustable zoom and bottom lock zoom, 12-level interference reject (IR) and ?inch target separation梩he LX-6 is proof positive that MarCum is the reigning king in ice fishing electronics.

Driven by an intelligently managed sonar engine, LX-6 delivers a cool consistent 4800-watts PtP (600-watts RMS) for the ultimate in precision performance.
Further, a customizable 揇ashboard?reveals digital depth, battery voltage, range, sensitivity, and interference rejection (IR). LX-6 System is also temperature capable when used with an optional High-Speed Transducer.
