Our take on the JW Fishers Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar
The JW Fishers Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar is a towfish with two sets of transducers inside one housing, so you can switch between a wide-area search and a close-up look without swapping gear. The 600 kHz setting covers up to 200 feet per side, while the 100 kHz setting reaches up to 2,000 feet per side for broad surveys. A 1200 kHz high-frequency option is listed alongside the dual-frequency setup. It suits survey crews, search and recovery teams, and wreck or debris hunters who need both coverage and detail from one tow body. Against single-frequency side scan units, it trades some simplicity for flexibility, since the same towfish covers both long-range and high-detail work.
- Two transducer sets in one towfish
- 600 kHz covers up to 400 feet of swath
- 100 kHz reaches up to 4,000 feet of swath
- 1200 kHz high-frequency option for fine detail
- One tow body covers wide search and close inspection

About the JW Fishers Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar
The JW Fishers Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar is a towed sonar system that scans the water to either side of the towfish. It carries two sets of transducers in a single towfish, so one unit covers two frequencies.
The 600 kHz setting scans up to 200 feet per side, a 400 foot swath. The 100 kHz setting scans up to 2,000 feet per side, a 4,000 foot swath.

Specifications
Questions and answers
- What is the difference between the 600 kHz and 100 kHz settings?
- The 600 kHz setting scans up to 200 feet per side, or a 400-foot swath, and gives finer detail. The 100 kHz setting scans up to 2,000 feet per side, or a 4,000-foot swath, for broad coverage at lower resolution.
- What does the 1200 kHz option add?
- It is the highest frequency listed, aimed at close-range, high-detail imaging. Expect a much narrower swath than the 600 kHz and 100 kHz settings.
- How many transducers does the towfish carry?
- Two sets of transducers are mounted in one towfish. That is what lets the same tow body work at more than one frequency.
- Is this a complete sonar system?
- The towfish carries the transducers. Running it takes a tow cable, a topside control and display, and a boat, so plan the full setup, not just the tow body.
- Who is this sonar aimed at?
- It is built for professional and serious hobby users: survey, search and recovery, and wreck or debris hunting. Casual users will find a single-frequency unit simpler.
- What is the widest area it can cover in one pass?
- At 100 kHz it covers up to 2,000 feet per side, a 4,000-foot swath. That is the widest coverage of the listed settings.
