CHIRP Integrated Fishfinders
CHIRP fishfinders are displays that contain built-in sonar circuitry. The CHIRP transducer plugs directly into the back of the display and there is no need for an external sounder box.
Most integrated CHIRP fishfinders support single-band transducers only. Dual-band transducers usually require a Multi-Function Display (MFD) with an external sounder connected via high-speed cable to the display.

Garmin offers five series of integrated CHIRP fishfinders with both touchscreen and keypad operation.
These models support single-band CHIRP only.
Dual-band transducers require an additional external sounder box.
LOWRANCE CHIRP FISHFINDERS
Lowrance offers the Elite, Hook and HDS Series of integrated CHIRP fishfinders.

Dual-band transducers require an additional external sounder box.
