I've got the Blackhawk (I think that's what it's called). It works if there's no snow on the ice, nor any significant bubbles in the ice. I use an auger and drill down 2" into the clear ice and then transmit the signal. It's handy compared to drilling and dropping a strong down. Sometime you need to fill the hole with a little water for proper transmission. And for flood ice you will have to drill down the the clear ice before you take your reading. Large learning curve but it's generally worth it! Got mine at the fishin hole for $120. It won't tell you the thickness of ice though
