11.8 Fishfinder sensitivity adjustments
The Adjust Sensitivity menu gives you access to features and
functions which enhance what is displayed on screen.
Sensitivity options include:
• Gain Mode
• Auto Adjust
• Color Gain
• TVG
• Color Threshold
• Power Mode
Sonar gain
The gain settings alter the way the DSM processes background
noise (also called clutter). Adjusting the gain settings can improve
the sonar image, however for optimum performance in most
conditions, we recommend that you use the auto settings.
The gain adjusts the return threshold (echo strength) above which
the fishfinder will show an object on the screen.
There are two gain modes:
• Auto
• Manual
Auto
In Auto mode, the DSM sonar automatically adjusts the gain setting
to suit current conditions. Any adjustments made apply to all
fishfinder windows using that particular frequency.
There are three Auto modes, each suited to different scenarios:
• Low (Cruising) is ideal for viewing fishfinder images with a
minimum of background noise as you are cruising to your fishing
spot. Only the strongest echoes are displayed.
