ISHING WITH THE 

2100 

How Your 2100 Works 

The 2100 uses active SONAR, short for Sound Navigation and Ranging, to 
locate and identify objects in the water.  The transducer sends out short 

bursts of ultrasonic sound waves into the water and then listens for echoes 
to come back from objects and the bottom.  The further away the object or 

bottom is, the longer it takes the echo to return.  
These ultrasonic waves “illuminate” the water, forming a beam that is 

strongest in the direction that the transducer is pointed (see Figure 3). 
Weaker side-lobes split off from the main beam and with enough gain can 

be used for finding fish as well.  You can calculate the approximate 
diameter of the main beam on the bottom as the depth divided by six. 

Figure 3.

Reading the Graph 

The bottom graph is created by drawing all of the echoes from a single 
burst in a vertical column on the display, with the echoes from deepest 

objects drawn lowest on the display. After all the echoes from the burst are 
drawn, the graph is shifted to the left and the process is repeated (see 

Figure 2).
