Hi All,
I didn't realize that I could post images here, so I am reposting my message from a response to a question.
I'm currently working on a single channel high resolution side scan imaging sonar to sell in the near future and have a working prototype. It is based around a modified mass produced commercial recording echosounder and therefore I can keep the price way down. This has a built in black and white weatherproof display of around 480 X 320 but is capable of much higher resolution when the files are played back on your computer. This display is very good in sunlight, much better than trying to see an image with a system based on a laptop in bright light. (Files can also be colorized etc). 200KHZ operating frequency. Includes GPS for boat position which is also recorded. I anticipate selling these for around $3,500.00.
If you have further questions please email me at [email protected]. Be sure to type the word SONAR in your message line as I get way to much junk mail and do not wish to wade through it all. With the final mods I expect the images will rival systems costing many 10's of thousands of dollars
