I have all of them checked on my unit. But, I'd have to check and see if I increased the Baud Rate.

Essentially .... the symbols in the GPS box can stay checked.

The SONAR box letters =
DBT = depth below transducer
DPT = depth
MTW = temp of water
VLW = distance traveled as measured by paddlewheel (if equiped)
VHW = velocity & heading as measured by paddlewheel (if equiped)

So, technically, unless you have a paddlewheel speed/distance system hooked up to your E5DSI, the VLW & VHW boxes can be left unchecked. The other three should remain checked. I don't know if unchecking the VLW & VHW boxes will make any difference in your sonar reading, since the system isn't getting any information from a paddlewheel, so leaving them checked shouldn't hurt anything.

If I'm wrong on any of these assumptions, would someone please correct me. I don't want to be giving out erroneous information.
