Fishfinder preset configuration

Sonar frequency

The frequency of the sonar determines the width of the sonar
beam and the depth to which the signals will penetrate. Each of
the 4 preset operating modes has its own frequency settings. The
frequency setting is indicated in the status bar.

There are 3 available frequency settings:

50 kHz produces a wide sonar beam and penetrates the water

well. It provides a lower resolution image that may not be as good
at detecting small fish. Typically use this if you require a large
coverage beneath your boat or if you are in deep water.

200 kHz produces narrow beam of quicker shorter sonar waves.

These produce a high resolution image but do not penetrate the
water as well as the lower frequency. This frequency is most
useful in shallower water (up to 1000 ft).

Auto. When operating in automatic frequency your DSM

automatically selects the appropriate frequency for your depth,
50 kHz in deep water and 200 kHz in shallower water.
