The Garmin GSD 26 Digital Black Box Network Sounder with Spread Spectrum sonar Technology is a cutting-edge product that is designed to enhance game fish targeting for deep-water sport fishers. With the use of digital Spread Spectrum technology, the GSD 26 provides superior target definition, bottom contours, and signal noise suppression at greater depths compared to traditional sonar systems. The spread spectrum sonar technology sweeps each pulse across a range of frequencies, resulting in detailed information and precise target separation in both shallow and deep water. Fishermen can manually adjust the frequency range from 25 kHz to 210 kHz, allowing for fine-tuning of targeting for trophy-size game fish. The GSD 26's dual-transceivers enable simultaneous and separate transducer operation, providing customization options for serious sport anglers. With a configurable range of transmit power from 300 to 3,000 watts, it is compatible with the latest broadband transducers offered by Airmar. It is capable of scanning depths of up to 3,000 meters (almost 10,000 feet) and can be connected to the Garmin Marine Network for display on compatible chartplotters/MFDs. Garmin's spread-spectrum GSD 26 is the ultimate choice for fishermen who demand the best.
