I like to run a split screen window with side imaging and either DI or Regular 2D and even all three screens at one time to help me understand what's down there.

User error. I couldn't remember how to capture an image and I pushed the check mark button. I don't know what it does, but it makes a black line show up and does that weird thing with the screen.Quote:

That's why I stuck with the "blue/white" palette ... so I could get images that were easy on the eye, and showed great detail [/QUOTE]
Yes, I like it. It's very bright in the pictures because it's a hard bottom. I've tried other pallates and there are some I like okay but I have a hard time seeing some of them. I like your blue.
I did mark the area for future looking. It's in the area where I go a good bit so it won't be long before I hit it again.
I agree with crappiepappy. The bright color palettes washout really bad. Blue or green work really well to differentiate between brush and fish on DI. If you can, find a tree or brush that had fish on it. Pause it and play with the contrast (on Lowrance, I'm not familiar with HB's). Fish will normally have a harder return than brush and trees. I have mine set where trees are faint and crappie shine like Xmas lights in the tops. I don't have SI so I don't know if this will work on that.

The higher frequency CHIRP range will be more detailed (but with slightly less range) ...
The check mark button makes it easy to change frequency dependent on what the user needs for the task at hand (higher frequency for more detail close to the boat -- or lower frequency for more range farther from the boat) ...

Thanks for the reply Rickie, so to make it higher frequency, you have to hold the check mark down? I’m guessing no but I don’t know how to change it.
Each press of the check mark button changes the frequency transmit thru the available choices of that Sonar type being displayed (2d, DI, or SI) ...Quote:

CHIRP is a sweep frequency centered around the standard fixed frequencies normally used in non-CHIRP transmit of each Sonar technology (2d, DI or SI) ...Quote:
