I don’t really have a good reason for why I was using it. Im still playing around with it trying to see the best picture I can. Still not really sure what I’m doing tbh. Lol

You might browse thru the sonar quiz thread for random info ...

Once again, I’m still learning so correct me if I’m wrong. But I believe these are fish in these pics? Not sure cause none of them would bite. I also did try a different color, couldn’t tell much of a difference

What I "think" I'm seeing :

in top pic ... couple of pretty good sized bait balls

in second pic ... may just be me, but that yellow blob at the bottom right looks like a large catfish, and maybe a large Bass on the other side of the screen, and both of them seem to be keying in on a small pod of baitfish

in the third pic ... trees are showing up pretty good, and there seems to be a few fish in the area

Probably wouldn't hurt to clean the water spots off the screen, too ... so that Sun reflection/highlighting of those spots doesn't take away from the images on the screen. :biggrin

Is there anything else I can adjust to make my screens less pixelated and clearer? On a lot of other peoples pics the bottom looks to be more solid than mine

I know very little about HB units, so I'm not the one to ask ... but, I was curious as to the 420-520kHz setting. Is there not a higher kHz setting ?? Maybe Rickie will enlighten both of us.

I know 455kHz is better for clearer images at depth/distance & 800kHz is better for clearer images in shallower depths/shorter distances ... which is why I have my DI unit set on 800kHz (as I'm rarely looking for anything past 25ft deep).

I did not know the difference. I think that was the default setting. I will try a different frequency if I get out again tomorrow

Press the check mark button to change frequencies ...

Is your unit a 7 MEGA ...??
