Ultrex Quest DSC adapter to Garmin 12 pin

[supra360]

Hello,

Just want to confirm these are the right adapter to connect the new Ultrex Quest DSC transducer to Garmin Ultra and GPSMAP series?

- MINN KOTA DSC ADAPTER CABLE / MKR-DSC-14 GARMIN 8-PIN PN: 1852082
- Garmin 8-pin Transducer to 12-pin Sounder Adapter Cable with XID PN: 010-12122-10

Thanks!

That is correct. I did the same - https://www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=1246482

Note - you will need to select the correct transducer model (and frequency if you want) on the Garmin MFD. After speaking with Minn Kota via phone and some deliberation, I was told that the DSC transducer's frequency is 83/200kHz. I was advised by Garmin to use the dual beam setting; I called them to inquire about the audible clicking transducer noise that I had coming from the bow 106sv that was hooked to the Quest's DSC transducer. They informed me that the noise is normal and will not harm the MFD.

Also, I observed that when on the "dual beam" model, adjusting the frequency range to the highest setting (200kHz I believe) reduced or eliminated the noise coming from the MFD. I rarely utilize the 2D up front anyways, so not that big of a deal.

DSC stands for Dual Spectrum CHIRP and with Humminbirds, it is 140-240 kHz or High Wide CHIRP using a Low-Q CHIRP rated piezo.
It is called Dual Spectrum because Humminbirds have three choices within that frequency range.
Full is default 150-220 kHz and adjustable.
Narrow is 180-240 kHz fixed range.
Wide is 140-200 kHz fixed range.

The Narrow and Wide is the Dual choices for that frequency range.

The former Dual Beam transducer is 83/200 kHz and is not CHIRP rated.
Prior to Dual Spectrum, Humminbirds CHIRPed that transducer (Cheap CHIRP).
83 kHz was CHIRPed at 75-95 kHz and adjustable.
200 kHz was CHIRPed at 175-225 kHz and adjustable.
