Use Surface
Clarity
Control
(SCC)
to reduce or eliminate surface
clutter. SOC varies the
gain
of the
re-
ceiver between each transmit
pulse,
while the
receiver is
"listening"
for the
return echoes. The
gain
is the lowest for
echoes near
the surface. It
gradually
increases as the
depth
increases. The
maximum
depth
that SOC will affect is
one-half of the selected
depth range.
For
example,
with maximum
SCC,
on a 0 to
60 foot
range,
SCC
would have an effect
from the surface to 30 feet.
