I bought a fl-18 genz pack last winter and forgot to ask the seller what cone angle the transducer was.

Any easy way of telling what it is? ...

The box it came in???

By the size and shape

Which Beam Is Which

The first few years things were easy. It was just the Ice-Ducer. Then came the Narrow Beam and Dual Beam Ice-Ducers, and lately the 12 degree. Now things get a bit more interesting. As far as choosing the correct beam angle, read the previous article. Depending on the age, there may no markings on the Ice-Ducer to indicate which degree it is, but you can tell just by looking at it's size.

The old standard 19 degree Ice-Ducer is 1 1/2" in diameter and about 3" tall. The newer style 19 has similar dimensions, but is cone shaped at the top. The 9 degree and Dual Beam, on the other hand, are almost 2 1/2" in diameter and about 3" tall, cone shaped at the top. The Dual Beam Ice-Ducer will have switch box in the cord. The 12 degree Ice-Ducer is about 1 3/4 inches across.

Ice-Ducers will continue to evolve. As we find better ways of doing things, you'll see more and more changes. Also, the popularity of the Ice-Ducer has brought "copy cats" to the market, but remember, just because it hangs, doesn't mean it's an Ice-Ducer.
