Well I down loaded the down image upgrade the day it came out, but had not seen anything on this switchfire.

“That's what your butt gets with a switching from ya mamma.”
CP I still remember those days!


If you are running any software that is version 4.700 or above than you have the SwitchFire menu in your unit. If you have the Down Imaging sonar than you also have it. Look under the Sonar menu tab for it.

I run my Switchfire in Max mode with the sensitivity turned way down in 8-30 ft of water and get great 2d returns of brush.....

Played with it a good bit today,(Switchfire that is) it seems to show every little thing in Max Mode. Clear Mode is more like normal not as much water clutter. It didn't seem to affect the Down or Side image as much as the 2D image.
DonG the 777c2 has it also it's under the Sonar menu. Will play some more tomorrow.

If your fishing roughly deeper than 20ft turn your switchfire to max. Anything less turn it to clear. When you turn it to max you will have alot of returns. Use your sensitivity to clear up the picture some. Not to the point that you lose all of your returns tho. Hope this helps

What is all the extra returns showing us, leafs in the water, small trash, what? I like seeing the extra stuff but I would like to know what I'm seeing. The write up said it would show plankton and all?? What is it changing sensitivity ??

Got some plankton in my drawyers one time. Felt like jello.:D

Probably all of the above ie plankton, trash, interference etc etc. sensitivity will reduce all of these smaller returns and make the bigger returns stand out more..
