4.9 How to Suppress Bottom and Sea Surface Re-
flections in Shallow Waters
In shallow fishing grounds with hard or rocky bottom, bottom reflections often interfere
with wanted fish echoes and they can not be eliminated sufficiently with the aforemen-
tioned TVG and AGC functions, especially when the TILT is set to a larger angle in
order to track schools of fish approaching within 400 m. In such cases try to reduce
the output power by adjusting the Tx output instead of turning down the gain. The pic-
ture becomes clearer when output power is reduced rather than when the GAIN is de-
creased as illustrated below.
