anode pole switch and begin electrofishing. If not, repeat
this step until the audio alarm begins beeping on and off

Duty cycle and frequency can have a huge impact

fish than higher frequencies. If you are not getting any
response from fish, change the LR-24 settings according
to adjustments a, b, and c on page 27.
