The Wide Band Transceiver requires an external power supply offering 12 to 15 Vdc, minimum 5 A. A large-capacity battery can also power the transceiver. A suitable power supply is provided with the delivery.
RAW echo sounder data are recorded to the integrated SSD disk or USB flash drive easily connected to the front panel.
