antam hockey tournament a success
CLINTON- The `Fifth Annual Optimist
Bantam Tournament wrapped up on
December 9 at the Clinton Arena. Stratford
emerged victorious in the "AA" division
Ety Steve Cooke and Petrolia won the "B" championship.
The consolation winners in the "AA" divi-
sion were the London Jets and Kitchener
won the "B" consolation championship.
According to tournament chairman Greg
Burns, the tournament ran smoothly again
this year.
Knowing owing what's available
If you do a lot of open water fishing, or
cruising, or both, it's important to keep up
with all the new advances electronic com-
panies are making. It doesn't mean that you
have to rush out and buy new equipment
every time something different is introduc-
ed, but when it comes time to upgrade or
repldce existing units, knowing what is
available can save time and effort.
Two years ago, the world of sportfishing
sonar changed dramatically with the in-
troduction of the now -famous X-15 Com-
puter Sonar graph by Lowrance Electronics
of Tulsa, OK.
It was truly a revolutionary instrument,
capturing the minds, hearts and souls of
fishermen, boaters and underwater search
and rescue experts throughout the world.
Many classed it as the "ultimate" sonar
unit.
However, Lowrance last year produced
the X -15A, and now has the X -15B, both ad-
vancements of the X-15, with several new
features provided by their microprocessors.
Now, Lowrance has another
breakthrough. It is the X-16, a sophisticated
yet simple computer graph with features
never before dreamed m the sonar world.
For instance, the X-15 series graphs
measure to depths of 2490 feet in 10 -foot
segments. The new X-16 will measure in
one -foot segments, and with special
transducers has depth capability of 8,000
feet. That means that it has the possibility of
no less than 32 million range settings.
The new unit also has dual frequency
capability.. The X-15 series graphs were of-
fered in separate units of 192 kilohertz or 50
kilohertz. An add-on box controlled by the
unit's keyboard allows the use of 192
and 50 kilohertz transducers. This gives it
the capability of measuring the underwater
in cone angles ranging from eight degrees to
45 degrees.
in addition, the X-16 incorporates a
memory system which recalls the same set-
tings and functions last programmed before
being turned off.
The X-16 also will record Loran -C naviga-
tienal settings, printing coordinates on the
chart paper upon command. It will interface
with forthcoming Lowrance Loran -C units.
Loran -C signals, now found throughout the
world, provide for the exact location of any
given point on land or water, or in the air,
through a small navigational instrument.
On the X-16, most functions of the unit are
printed at the bottom of the chart paper,
telling the operator at a glance which pro-
grams have been initiated.
The new unit will also have seven levels of
chart paper speed, and a seven -step paper
saving system, both controlled by the com-
puter. A new type of processor has enabled
Lowrance engineers to double the printing
capability of the unit, providing even finer
resolution (the ability to separate fish from
the bottom or each other) than the X-15
series.
It will incorporate eight levels of surface
clutter control, compared with four levels
on previous units, and will include- an
automatic suppression system to overcome
electrical or cavitational interference.
Another new feature allows the operator
to select light, medium or dark chart im-
ages. All range and scale settings, and
various number functions on the X-16 will be
printed evenly. They will not be jammed or
expanded with the changing of chart speed.
The X-16 will not replace the X-158 in °the
company's line. It will, because of its in-
tricate computer system, be higher priced.
In addition to all the new features, others
found in the X-15 series will be retained -the
ability to measure in feet, fathoms and
meters; adjustable pulse width settings for
greater definition in various depth ranges; a
new easy -load tilt -out paper drive system;
and Lowrance's patented Grayline feature
which discriminates between true bottom
and objects on the bottom such as rocks,
brush, trees, fish and shipwrecks.
Like all Lowrance sonar units, it can be
operated at speeds of 75 miles an hour or
more, has a lighted display for night use,
and gold plated contacts. When soaked with
rain or slat spray, it can be hosed off with
fresh water without fear of damage or in-
jury to vital electronics parts.

Lowrance Electronics, Inc., 12000 East Skel-
ly Drive, Tulsa OK., 74128, for more infor-
mation on the X-16 and other Lowrance pro-
ducts.
