[QUOTE="AaronJ, post: 397976, member: 1109"] I have had Lowrance Active Target and Garmin Livescope with both the LVS 32 and LVS 34 transducers. Humminbird is light years BEHIND both Lowrance and Garmin in the FFS game. For all of my FFS (2 or 3 in the boat) I will be running Garmin. I will have Garmin 12 and Lowrance 12 on the dash, Garmin 16 and Lowrance 12 on the bow (with Livescope), and Garmin 12 on track mount for my wife to use a 2nd LVS 34 LS in the back of the boat. I feel the image quality of Garmin is better than Lowrance. I also feel the hookup is easier without having to have the "black box" wired to a switch. I will have the ability, with Lowrance on the bow and console, to add Active Target pretty easily if I have a Garmin failure or want multiple views at the same time. I used to have a Garmin with LVS 34 set up as portable, but I rarely ice fish and found it a PIA in the boat. Arc Lab shuttle, from what I heard is pretty hard to beat for overall quality and portability. I had a summit portable shuttle and was not impressed. [/QUOTE]
