Tip
The Mk2 Operating Panel is fitted with three rotary switches. The switches are identified
with numbers. Each switch can be assigned a function related to range, gain, bearing or tilt.
In some cases, you may want to use
Horizontal TX Sector
to control the direction of the
acoustic transmissions. This can be useful to avoid reverberation if you work close to land,
or interference from other sonars in the same area.
