Dual frequency sportscan canada
by Alan Rothstein in Montreal Canada - 
This is a great little side scan sonar, easy to set up and deploy. Picture quality is good and controls work well, basic software is well thought out and accurate. I have been using it in Canada for several years and have had no problems with the sidescan. There is a learning curve, you need to get used to the settings depending on where you are working and the different bottom features. I have found a lot of boats with it, not to mention logs, cars and other things on the bottom of lakes, etc. Packaging is good. I have two pelican cases that hold everything I need to work.

Easily To Handle
by Priyantha Jinadasa in Sri Lanka - 
I have experience with this system. It is portable and handled easily. It is good for shallow water surveys like habitat mapping and shipwreck surveys.
