Ping Sync. What is it? Why You Need It!

Forward Facing Sonar works when you can see structure, fish, and your lure. Because FFS is so precise and sensitive, other sonar signals will show on the screen. When multiple sonar signals show on the screen, they can hide the FFS signal you want to see.

Most boats that use FFS have multiple sonar transducers, each putting out sonar signals that will show on the FFS screen. There are two ways to stop these stray sonar signals from littering your FFS screen.

The first and most commonly used method is to "Stop" each transducer from pinging, except for the live sonar transducer. The downside of this it requires multiple key presses to shut off each transducer, and then you no longer can view those transducers. Additionally, if you have more than one live sonar unit, you will only be able to run one without having sonar interference.

The second method is the subject of this YouTube video. Lowrance HDS Pro units and Active Target 2 and XL have the remarkable ability to synchronize all the transducer pings so they fire at the same time. This allows all transducers connected to the HDS Pro to ping synch. Once Ping Synch is enabled, you can utilize all transducers at the same time, without any of them interfering with the others.

This video shows all the details explaining ping synch, how to wire it, what menu settings to enable, and why you need it!
