KT-Fisher Sonar Fish Finder

befestigung könnte besser sein sonst gut

fastening could be better otherwise good

Tiefe wurde nicht immer genau angezeigt, Fische auch nicht. Hatten den direkten Vergleich mit Kollegen. Wenn man grob die Tiefe wissen möchte um z.B. Hänger zu vermeiden, dann ist es in Ordnung. Um Fische zu finden oder Kanten erkennen, nein. Geber wird mit Schnur hinterhergezogen, ist echt nervig. Tiefe muss man mit so einer "Schaumstoffteil" einstellen, verstellt sich oft. Fazit: Was will man preislich mehr erwarten. Wer es öfter hernehmen will sollte mehr Geld reinsteckei

Depth was not always shown exactly, and neither were fish. We had a direct comparison with colleagues. If you want to know the depth roughly in order to avoid snags, for example, then it's fine. To find fish or detect edges, no. The sensor is pulled along with a line, which is really annoying. You have to set the depth with a "foam part" and it often gets misaligned. Conclusion: What more can you expect for the price? If you want to use it more often, you should invest more money.

Habe mir den oben genannten Fischfinder von Duramaxx bestellt, um mir ein Bild von unbekannten Gewässer hinsichtlich der Untergrundbeschaffenheit, Unterwasservegetation etc.. zu verschaffen. Der Fischfinder wird in folgendem Komponenten geliefert: - Fischfinder in einer handlichen Größe von 7 x 12 x 3cm (BxHxT). Dadurch kann dieser bequem in der Hosen- oder Jackentasche transportiert oder in einer kleinen Angeltasche verstaut werden. Zur Stromversorgung werden vier AAA-Batterien (nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten) benötigt. Hier benutze ich wiederaufladbare Panasonic Eneloop Akkus. Das Gerät selbst sieht ziemlich robust aus, dass es einige Wasserspritzer ab kann. - Sonar/Sensoreinheit (ca. 5x5 cm) - ummanteltes Verbindungskabel zwischen Sensoreinheit und Fischfinder (ca 8m Länge) - Schwimmer 8cm Ø - 10seitige Bedienungsanleitung in englisch - Halteschlaufe - eine kleine Halterung zur Festmontage auf Angelbooten - Garantiekarte Da die Bedienungsanleitung leider nur in englisch verfügbar ist, empfehle ich die deutschsprachige Version auf der Internetseite des Händlers auszudrucken(insofern benötigt): [...] Um mich erst einmal mit den Funktionen des Gerätes vertraut zu machen, habe ich dieses heute vom Seeufer aus getestet. In der Anleitung ist erwähnt, dass das Kabel nicht auf den Gewässergrund sinken darf. Daher habe ich das Kabel alle 10cm mit Styroporflocken versehen und mit Paketband fixiert (Zeitaufwand ca. 20min). Tip: Die Styroporflocken sind oftmals als Verpackungsmaterial bei zerbrechlichen Artikeln im Paket enthalten. Das Verbindungskabel wird mit dem Fischfinder verbunden (Steckverbindung am oberem Teil des Gerätes) und schon kann die Montage ins Wasser gelassen werden. Als Abstand zwischen Sensoreinheit und Schwimmer habe ich ungefähr 20cm eingestellt. Nach dem einschalten kann man die Empfindlichkeit einstellen (habe hier die voreingestellten 5 Balken gelassen) und den Akustikalarm zunächst ausgestellt. Um die Geräteinstellungen im Bildschirmmenü ändern zu können, muss man die Setup Taste 3 Sekunden gedrückt halten und kann dann durch mehrfaches betätigen der Setup Taste die verschiedenen Menüpunkte (Empfindlichkeit, Batteriemodus,Alarm,Beleuchtung) aufrufen. Betätigt man die Setup und Enter Taste gemeinsam, gelangt man in das Menü zur Einstellung der Wassertiefenanzeige. Bei der Anzeige der Wassertiefe kann zwischen Meter und englischen Fuß (1ft. = 30,48 cm) gewählt werden. Nach einer kurzen Wartezeit wird im Display bereits die Untergrundbeschaffenheit und Infos zu Unterwasserpflanzen angezeigt. Nach ungefähr fünf Minuten wurden mir dann auch Fischvorkommen angezeigt. Die Anzeige sah so aus, dass Fische von rechts nach links vorbeiziehen. Laut Anleitung werden neue Vorkommen auf der rechten Seite angezeigt. Habe einige zusätzliche Bilder des Fischfinders und der Menüs mit den Anzeigen vom Untergrund und von Fischvorkommen hochgeladen. Fazit: Handliches und einfaches Einsteigermodell. Die Anzeigen auf dem Display sind auch bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung gut ablesbar. Die Bodenstruktur ist gut erkennbar. Für die gelegentliche Nutzung und den Einsatz an Brücken, Bootstegen, Spundwänden und vom Ufer aus kann man mit dem Gerät sicherlich nix falsch machen. Zum Einsatz vom Boot aus kann ich nix sagen, da ich die Möglichkeit nicht habe. Bezüglich der Korrektheit der Tiefenangaben werde ich nochmals an anderer Stelle testen, wo das Wasser generell tiefer ist. Hatte auch ziemlich auflandigen Wind, wo ich nicht weiß, inwiefern stark unruhiges Wasser Einfluss auf die Anzeigen hat. Weiteres Update der oben benannten Punkte wird noch erfolgen. bestellt 28.

I ordered the above-mentioned fish finder from Duramaxx to get an idea of the nature of the subsoil, underwater vegetation, etc. in unknown waters. The fish finder is supplied with the following components: - Fish finder in a handy size of 7 x 12 x 3cm (WxHxD). This means it can be easily carried in a trouser or jacket pocket or stored in a small fishing bag. Four AAA batteries (not included) are required for power supply. I use rechargeable Panasonic Eneloop batteries here. The device itself looks pretty robust and can withstand a few splashes of water. - Sonar/sensor unit (approx. 5x5 cm) - sheathed connection cable between sensor unit and fish finder (approx. 8m long) - float 8cm Ø - 10-page operating instructions in English - holding strap - a small bracket for permanent installation on fishing boats - warranty card As the operating instructions are unfortunately only available in English, I recommend printing out the German version from the dealer's website (if required): [...] In order to familiarise myself with the functions of the device, I tested it today from the lake shore. The instructions mention that the cable must not sink to the bottom of the water. Therefore, I covered the cable with Styrofoam flakes every 10cm and secured it with parcel tape (time required approx. 20 minutes). Tip: The Styrofoam flakes are often included in the package as packaging material for fragile items. The connection cable is connected to the fish finder (plug connection on the upper part of the device) and the assembly can then be lowered into the water. I set the distance between the sensor unit and the float to around 20cm. After switching it on, you can adjust the sensitivity (I left the preset 5 bars here) and initially turn off the acoustic alarm. To be able to change the device settings in the on-screen menu, you have to hold down the setup button for 3 seconds and then you can call up the various menu items (sensitivity, battery mode, alarm, lighting) by pressing the setup button several times. If you press the setup and enter buttons together, you get to the menu for setting the water depth display. When displaying the water depth, you can choose between meters and English feet (1ft. = 30.48 cm). After a short wait, the display shows the nature of the bottom and information about underwater plants. After about five minutes, I was also shown fish populations. The display looked like fish were swimming past from right to left. According to the instructions, new populations are shown on the right-hand side. I have uploaded some additional pictures of the fish finder and the menus with the displays of the bottom and fish populations. Conclusion: Handy and simple entry-level model. The displays on the screen are easy to read even in direct sunlight. The bottom structure is clearly visible. For occasional use and use on bridges, jetties, sheet pile walls and from the shore, you certainly can't go wrong with the device. I can't say anything about use from a boat, as I don't have the opportunity. Regarding the accuracy of the depth information, I will test it again in another place where the water is generally deeper. I also had quite a bit of onshore wind, so I don't know to what extent very rough water influences the displays. Further updates on the points mentioned above will follow. Ordered September 28, 2015

Utile per i pescatori e non solo! - IMPRESSIONI GENERALI Arriva in un solido imballo. Prodotto che appare ben costruito e fatto per resistere ad un uso intensivo all'aperto. - CARATTERISTICHE Dato che come il solito il manuale è solo in inglese e molto conciso, spiego qui alcune cose che ho imparato provando a usare l'apparecchio. E' un eco scandaglio, cioè un apparecchio che emette onde sonore per rilevare la presenza di pesci sott'acqua, distinguendoli da oggetti fermi come rocce o alghe. Si divide in due parti: - Unità principale da tenere in mano o appoggiata all'asciutto, con il monitor e i comandi vari. - Il sonar agganciato ad un cavo dotato di un galleggiante regolabile in modo che si può decidere la profondità a cui posizionare il sonar. Spostando il galleggiante vicino al sonar, questo sarà posizionato a pelo d'acqua. Il sonar, dopo averlo connesso con il monitor, va lanciato o posato in acqua impugnando il sonar stesso e non il filo, perché altrimenti potrebbe danneggiarsi. Le due parti si connettono tramite un jack. Ci sono anche una cinghietta da polso e un attacco che permette eventualmente di attaccare il sonar ad una struttura fissa inclinandolo opportunamente, ad esempio alla chiglia di una barca con la quale si va a pescare. Il sonar può effettuare scansioni sino a 100 metri di profondità con un angolo di visuale di 45°. Quando è in funzione segnala su monitor: - una colonnina graduata sulla destra con 10 tacche che indica la profondità a cui è stato rilevato l'ultimo pesce (quello più a destra) dividendo per 10 la profondità rilevata indicata in alto a sinistra sul monitor.. - l'immagine di uno o più pesci accanto alla colonnina (a mano a mano che vengono fatte rilevazioni l'immagine di destra è sempre la più recente e quelle più vecchie scorrono da destra a sinistra. - in basso eventuali rilevazioni di oggetti fermi con il disegno di alghe o rocce. L'alimentazione avviene con quattro mini stilo AAA. Premendo il pulsante di accensione l'apparecchio diventa operativo quando il sensore è immerso nell'acqua. Premendo per qualche secondo il tasto SETUP si attivano i menu in alto sul monitor, poi premendo brevemente SETUP ci si sposta dall'uno all'altro. Il tasto ENTER serve per cambiare il settaggio del menu attivo.  Le icone del menu significano da sinistra a destra: - Regolazione della intensità del segnale emesso dal sonar - Risparmio energetico della batteria - Sonoro on/off (segnala le rilevazioni con un bip) - Retroilluminazione on/off (se off schiacciando  un tasto il monitor si illumina solo per 3 secondi per risparmiare la batteria) - Livello di carica della batteria - Profondità della scansione in metri Con acqua molto sporca potrebbero essere rilevati falsi segnali. - CONCLUSIONI Un prodotto ben studiato, solido e molto portatile.  Utile soprattutto ai pescatori ma anche ad ecologi o naturalisti che desiderano monitorare la presenza di fauna ittica in mare o lago. L'ho provato al lago di Arignano in condizioni non ottimali perché l'acqua era fangosa e quindi non potevo avere una verifica visiva di quanto rilevato. Comunque mi è sembrato funzionare adeguatamente, ha rilevato dei pesci e so che lì ce ne sono dato che ho visto a volte aironi e svassi con il pesce in bocca. Mi riservo di provarlo a giugno in mare con acqua limpida e più profonda. E' comunque, anche per un uso estemporaneo, un bell'apparecchio che permette di divertirsi in un modo diverso dal solito. Immagino anche che i pescatori dovrebbero essere entusiasti di un supporto di questo genere. Prezzo in linea con prodotti similari.

Useful for fishermen and beyond! - GENERAL IMPRESSIONS Arrives in solid packaging. Product that appears well built and made to withstand intensive outdoor use. - FEATURES Since as usual the manual is only in English and very concise, I will explain here some things that I learned while trying to use the device. It is an echo sounder, that is, a device that emits sound waves to detect the presence of fish underwater, distinguishing them from stationary objects such as rocks or algae. It is divided into two parts: - Main unit to be held in the hand or placed dry, with the monitor and various controls. - The sonar attached to a cable equipped with an adjustable float so that you can decide the depth at which to position the sonar. By moving the float near the sonar, it will be positioned on the water surface. The sonar, after connecting it to the monitor, must be thrown or placed in water by holding the sonar itself and not the wire, because otherwise it could be damaged. The two parts connect via a jack. There is also a wrist strap and an attachment that allows you to attach the sonar to a fixed structure by tilting it appropriately, for example to the keel of a boat with which you go fishing. The sonar can scan up to 100 meters deep with a viewing angle of 45°. When in operation it signals on the monitor: - a graduated column on the right with 10 notches indicating the depth at which the last fish (the one furthest to the right) was detected by dividing the detected depth indicated at the top left of the monitor by 10. . - the image of one or more fish next to the column (as measurements are made, the right image is always the most recent and the older ones scroll from right to left. - any detections of stationary objects at the bottom with the design of algae or rocks. Power is supplied by four mini AAA pens. By pressing the power button the device becomes operational when the sensor is immersed in water. Pressing the SETUP button for a few seconds activates the menus at the top on the monitor, then by briefly pressing SETUP you move from one to the other. The ENTER key is used to change the setting of the active menu. From left to right, they mean: - Adjustment of the intensity of the signal emitted by the sonar battery energy - Sound on/off (signals detections with a beep) - Backlight on/off (if off by pressing a button the monitor lights up only for 3 seconds to save battery) - Battery charge level - Scanning depth in meters With very dirty water false signals could be detected. - CONCLUSIONS A well-studied, solid and very portable product. Especially useful for fishermen but also for ecologists or naturalists who wish to monitor the presence of fish fauna in the sea or lake. I tried it at Lake Arignano in less than optimal conditions because the water was muddy and therefore I could not have a visual verification of what was detected. However it seemed to work adequately, it detected fish and I know there are some there as I have sometimes seen herons and grebes with fish in their mouths. I intend to try it in June in the sea with clear and deeper water. However, even for extemporaneous use, it is a nice device that allows you to have fun in a different way than usual. I also imagine that fishermen should be thrilled with support like this. Price in line with similar products.

Habe mir das Echolot gekauft da ich sehr wenig Zeit zum Angeln habe. Wenn ich dann mal Angeln gehe, solte die Zeit auch intensiv und erfolgreich genutzt werden. Das Gerät erfüllt in dieser Preisklasse meine Erwartungen. Fische, Bodenverhälnisse und Wassertiefe werden zuverlässig angezeigt.

I bought the depth sounder because I have very little time for fishing. When I do go fishing, I want to use the time intensively and successfully. The device meets my expectations in this price range. Fish, bottom conditions and water depth are displayed reliably.

L'Escondaglio sonar Electronic Star è stato un ottimo acquisto. Il prezzo è molto buono e funziona bene! Lo consiglio agli appassionati della pesca come me!

The Electronic Star sonar finder was a great purchase. The price is very good and it works well! I recommend it to fishing enthusiasts like me!

ESTA BIEN DE PRECIO, VAMOS A VER COMO FUNCIONA

THIS IS A GOOD PRICE, LET'S SEE HOW IT WORKS

der Fischfinder funktionierte in den ersten Versuchen wunderbar. Es wurde Tiefe des Wassers angezeigt und nur als ein Fisch vorbeischwamm sah man diesen auf dem Monitor.

The fish finder worked wonderfully in the first few attempts. It showed the depth of the water and only when a fish swam past did you see it on the monitor.
