Manufacturer: Airmar

Model Number: R299

Series: Transducer

Condition: Used

Additional Notes: This transducer is in great condition. It is a 2/3kw In-Hull transducer with 2kw output on the high frequency side (130-210khz), and 3kw output on the low side (33-60khz). This would be an excellent transducer to pair with a DFF3, FCV-295, FCV-1150, etc. as the FFS (Furuno Free Synthesis) allows you to select frequencies between 28 and 200 for low and high so you can dial in the right frequency for whatever type of fishing you are doing. Also works with the Raymarine DSM400.

While this variable frequency is similar to CHIRP, we are unsure as to whether this R299 can be “CHIRPED”. It is our understanding that the R299 and R599 are similar, and the R299 may even be “chirp ready”, but because the R299 is not going to be included in most sounder module’s XID libraries, and because XID is the way a sounder module is aware of what transducer is hooked up to it, it won’t be recognized by most sounder modules as a connected transducer. Some brands, like Garmin with a GSD26, have a way to program a transducer like this for fixed frequency operation only, but other brands, like Raymarine with a CP570, have no way of manually programming parameters. Therefore, any off label use is at the sole discretion of the buyer, as we recommend using this on sounders like the DFF3 or FCV-295/1150 as those are the units this transducer was designed for.

The transducer has been tested on an Airmar TDT1000, and that test report is in the photos.

This includes a used tank. The tank was never cut, but was glassed into the bottom of the boat. Some cleanup will be required, as there is fiberglass stuck to the inside of the tank. We would recommend cutting first, to get a clean edge, and then cleaning whatever you need to on the tank to get a good bond. Also includes the cork liner, which is necessary for proper operation.

Thanks for looking.
