Sorry to jump on the thread but Snapper can you tell me the difference in actual using the old software and the new ? Im still on the old not sure if there is any real advantage ?? so should try the new ??

And in answer to the thread if funds allowed I would definitely buy the new chirp as the shallow water working would benefit me in shallow rivers

You can have both versions installed separately on your device so why not try it and decide for yourself Gerry.

Can I ask where you bought it and for how much? I've seen it in various places but it isn't really on offer anywhere add far as I can see.

Delivered today on Amazon Prime...paid £290 but this included night light and a couple of extras (mask and flask) so rrp with a couple of freebies. Angling stores doing them for £275ish but by the time you've bought the night light as an extra it's the same minus the freebies...

Amazon were selling the same 'bundle' new but in damaged packaging for £248 which is arguably the best price I found however was a little bit twitchy about this (5yr warranty may be affected?) plus they are offering 5 months interest free on the full price so I paid the extra £40 for peace of mind etc.....

You can extend the range to 200m+ using a TP link wifi extender powered by a power bank , some chaps have been testing it on another forum and works well and also cheap.

Can you get more details please. That sounds interesting. I reckon I get about 60 yards if it's choppy.

It was on offer for £239 at Johnson Ross a couple of weeks ago, I was wondering what to do and ended up ordering a Pro+ winter pack from Amazon marketplace for £179. When it arrived the bloody screw in connectors were both missing! Sent it back and went on JR, chirp was back up to £279

Might be worth trying Hull Angling, they beat everyone when I was asking around.
Like the sound of the range extender.

Pike & Catfish striking it

You should try wrapping up 5 wraps to bait up a close in spot then having totally forgotten this put the Deeper back on to see what you can find at 60 yards, been there done that
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
