Before you can select a frequency, you must open the Full Screen page
(page 4), the Split Zoom page (page 5), or the Flasher page (page 8).
When using a dual-beam transducer, you can select a frequency of 200 kHz
or 77 kHz.
The 200 kHz frequency shows better detail, has a narrower beam, and is
typically used in shallower waters.
The 77 kHz frequency has a wider beam, so it can be used to cover a larger
area. It can be used as a search tool to locate structure, such as brush piles,
and to see more sh.
When you select a frequency on one page, that setting is applied to the other
pages.
1. Select MENU > Setup > Sonar Setup > Frequency.

that shows the range to targets in real time along a scale. This view expands
