997 ?

[wilbur]

On the sonar menu under beam select it has 3 selections 200/83 200 83khz Which one do you reccomend. Also the RTS window should it be narrow or wide. One more question TRANSDUCER SELECT what should that be set on. When they say QUADRA BEAM PLUS transducer is that what comes with the unit.? Thanks hope someone can help?

Thanks wilbur.

I personally like 200/83 narrow on RTS and set it to Hi def side scan, thats the standard on 997

I use the wider 83hz beam in shallow water. If I''m fish'n water over 25' I'll sometime change over to the narrow 200hz beam. The wider beam helps you locate the brush easier in shallow water. I turn the RTS window off and select the Hi Def Side Scan.

I'm curious as to how you find the RTS useful...

A Scope is what I mainly use. RTS for you HB users. If it ain't on A Scope, you done past it or it ain't there. Past A Scope is recorded history.

And with updates faster than the mechanical flashers you aren't going to miss a thing.

CANE POLE whar are you talking about what do you mean by scope

"A Scope" Wilbur. Its what most other companies would call a vertical representation of what is exactely under the transducer. Sort of like a color flasher with the reading straightened out vertically.

RTS Window set to narrow uses colors to represent returned sonar signal strength:




RTS Window set to wide shows signal strength level with a horizontal line. The longer the line the stronger the returned sonar is:
