852.0. "EAGLES NEW 3D 100 LCR?" by SPOTON::NERKER () Tue Aug 16 1988 20:44

    Does anyone have info/experience on using EAGLES new 3-D 100 LCR?
    Specifically im interested in finding if this new LCR is superior
    to the existing ones now out as it is supposed to be able to
    have a much wider search scan. Does it use a movable transducer
    or is it engineered differently are my questions. Im in the market
    to purchase my first LCR.....

    The Eagle 3-D uses 3 transducers. I'm not sure if it really works
    any better or not. I would try to find a dealer that could show
    you one that is operational so you could see for yourself. The LCR
    has different modes; you can see the return from any of the transducers
    individually, each of the transducers in a separate window, or the
    composite return from all three transducers. It may be worth looking
    into.

      Indeed the Eagle 3-D is a fine choice for a fish finder. But let
    me be candid here for a moment, its not the Eagle 3-D model that
    you want. I have done alot of research on this subject, ( your 
    mental ability when it comes to marine driving ), what you need
    is the new model that has just come out into the market for 
    SEA STIFF CAPTAINS like yourself.......
    
      I am talking about the new, " HAWK 5000 SEA + I LAND LOCATER !"
    This baby comes complete, it has all the latest updates, and very
    simple to use.....a five year old can program it, ( I'll send one
    of my boys with you to give you a hand ).. The HAWK 5000 comes with,

 DON PARDO ???  MY GAWD...WHO LET HIM OUT OF HIS CAGE!!!

Now there's a voice we haven't heard from for some time!  I sure hope that 
this doesn't mean that the infamous LEGEND will come out of retirement.  
Rumor has it that the Legend has become a total recluse, having gone off to 
the remote shores of Alaska to hand-feed baby whales and to learn their 
language.  I also hear that trying to converse with him results in a series 
of high-pitched grunts, groans and squeels.

852.4but The Legend always sounded like thatRAINBO::MACINTYREFish are rising up like birdsThu Aug 18 1988 13:548
    Hey Don Pardo, maybe that same manufacturer makes a trolling motor
    that automatically finds it's way home after being tossed overboard....

    On the serious side, I haven't seen the new 3D...  but for a list
    of other notes that cover various LCRs etc.; DIR/KEY=SONAR

    Now c'mon guys where here to help a fishing pal decide on buying
    a fish finder......I personaly think the boy should buy a SAT-COM
    so he can find his way back to shore, in a RIVER !!!!!!!! You boys
    don't know what your dealing with here, this is not someone who
    you can joke with .... I mean, this guys head looks like a bobber
    and as hollow to. If your going to give this one any suggestions,
    W A R N I N G, WHATEVER YOU SAY WILL BE HELD AGAINST YA ! ! ! !
     
    He can not distinguish joking from telling it straight, HE IS 
    DESPERATE ENOUGH TO TRY ANYTHING.........Someone told Nerker
    one time, whatever you do, keep the bouys to your left going out
    and your right coming in..... He still trying to figure out what
    he has to do when he has a female in the boat with him !!!!!!!!!
    
    As for the large SPERM WHALE up north, thats where he belongs....
    Its sure was nice hearing from you Joe and Don, I can't say I 
    would like to get back together with you guys up there, lets just
    leave it this way, I never did like anyone who hated my best friend
    in the world , T H E  L E G E N D  ! ! ! !! ! ! ! !  
    
    Sorry for rambling like this Nerker, do yourself a favor, CHARTER
    MORE OFTEN, ITS SAFER AND CHEAPER, AND YOU WILL LIVE LONGER ! !
