ECHOTRAC™
MKIII MODEL

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Like to keep your options open? Then Odom’s Echotrac™
MKIII is the echo sounder for you! It’s the only sounder on
the market offering you the choice of either a high-resolution
thermal paper recorder or a full-sized high bright color LCD
chart in interchangeable module format.

When it comes from Odom, you know it’s durable, easy

to use and backed by the best customer service in the
industry. Both high and low channels feature frequency agility,
enabling the operator to precisely match the transceiver
to almost any existing transducer. This matching ability
minimizes nearsurface noise caused by transducer ringing
while increasing echo return strength.

The MKIII is capable of both shallow and deep-water

operations and it features unsurpassed interfacing exibility
with four serial ports and high speed Ethernet capability
for maximum efciency. With all of these features in such
a compact and portable package, it’s easy to see why the
Echotrac™ MKIII is such a respected echo sounder.
