Selecting the Frequency
The DSM300 uses dual frequency sonar—50 kHz and 200 kHz—and can be used
in either auto or manual modes.
The DSM300 can automatically select the appropriate frequency, based on the
current display range. As the depth increases while in Auto Frequency mode, the
sounder module shifts from 200 kHz to 50 kHz at 250 ft (80 m). As the depth
decreases, the sounder module switches from 50 kHz to 200 kHz at 150 ft (50 m).
The Auto Frequency setting is also useful for automatically searching for bottom.
