The LiveScope 2 HD LVS42HD is Garmin's high-definition live-scanning sonar transducer. It connects directly to a compatible Garmin chartplotter and a power source with no separate black box, and uses higher frequencies than the LVS44 for finer detail of fish, lures and structure at closer range, out to 38 m (125 ft).

Description

The Garmin LiveScope 2 HD LVS42HD transducer is the high-definition member of the LiveScope 2 family. Like the LVS44 it needs no GLS 10 sonar black box: the transducer connects straight to your power source and to a compatible chartplotter or network over Garmin BlueNet, using the included power/network cable and adapter. It runs at 850 kHz to 1,600 kHz, giving sharper, more detailed images of fish, lures and structure at closer range, with integrated image stabilisation and improved stitching.

Beams cover 20 x 165 degrees in Forward mode and 20 x 180 degrees in Down and Perspective modes, with bottom tracking and forward range out to 38 m (125 ft). Water detection turns the sonar off automatically when the transducer leaves the water, and a built-in temperature sensor provides water temperature readings. The adjustable perspective shaft mount and a trolling-motor barrel mount are included, together with an adapter disc for the Force Kraken LiveScope mounting bracket. For longer range, see the LiveScope 2 LVS44.

Does the LiveScope 2 HD LVS42HD need a GLS 10 black box?
No. LiveScope 2 HD connects directly to a compatible Garmin chartplotter (or Garmin BlueNet network) and to a 10 to 35 V power source using the included power/network cable, so no GLS 10 sonar black box is needed.
What is the difference between the LVS42HD and the LVS44?
The LVS42HD uses higher frequencies (850 kHz to 1,600 kHz) for more detail at closer range, up to 38 m (125 ft). The LVS44 (600 kHz to 1,050 kHz) reaches up to 76 m (250 ft), so it is the longer-range choice.
Which mounts are included?
The adjustable perspective shaft mount, a trolling-motor barrel mount and an adapter disc for the Force Kraken LiveScope mounting bracket are included. Transom, jack plate, 0-degree and 8-degree shaft mounts are available separately.
Can I extend the cable?
Yes. Garmin LiveScope 2 extension cables are available in 1 m (3 ft) and 3 m (10 ft) lengths, and the BlueNet network side can be extended with a BlueNet coupler and extension cable.
