CVS-128
Marine Sonar Specialist Insight: The SI-TEX CVS-128 (MPN CVS-128) is a dedicated high-performance fishfinder designed for the offshore angler and commercial captain. By utilizing SI-TEX Digital Signal Processing (S-DSP), it eliminates noise and provides a high-definition view of the water column. Its 8.4-inch portrait display is ideal for vertical scanning, allowing you to identify fish holding tight to deep-water structure and precisely distinguish between bait balls and trophy predators.
Professional Target Separation & Deep Water Clarity
The SI-TEX CVS-128 (MPN: CVS-128) is engineered for those who demand a dedicated sonar platform that excels in clarity and depth. Featuring a brilliant 8.4-inch color LCD with an anti-reflective coating, it remains perfectly visible even in direct mid-day sun. The system’s dual-frequency capability (50/200 kHz) provides the versatility needed for both shallow-water detail and deep-ocean penetration up to 3,000 feet.
What defines the CVS-128 is its Digital Filtering. Unlike traditional analog sounders, the S-DSP technology optimizes the gain and filtering in real-time to provide the cleanest possible image. It features an Auto Function that intelligently adjusts range and gain based on boat speed and depth, allowing the captain to focus on fishing rather than fine-tuning settings. With its high-speed ping rate, the sonar provides a smooth, lag-free image even at higher cruising speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does this unit include a transducer?
The CVS-128 (MPN CVS-128) is typically sold as the display unit only. This allows you to pair it with the specific 600W or 1kW transducer (transom, thru-hull, or in-hull) that matches your hull type and depth requirements.
2. Is this compatible with NMEA 0183?
Yes. The CVS-128 features NMEA 0183 input/output, allowing it to share depth and temperature data with your chartplotter or receive GPS coordinates to mark specific waypoints on the sonar history.
