Now that I've ventured deeper i will have to learn how to use more settings than just freq, pic advance, gain and tvg. There is also as far as i'm aware of TX (that I thought was only for other boat interference) , interference, colour erase, clutter, echo strength and god knows what else. I didn't even understand what the TX was until i just read it!!
I actually enjoy the challenge of something new like the deep drop and working out how to get the most out of this sounder and with the help of the guys down at Furuno (who have been brilliant) I will have it all sorted over the next couple of trips.
Not a bad idea - i'll run a few 80 wides next time but with the crew I had it would of been mayhem/funny!!! I've seen plenty of marlin & sails up there over the years so it would be good to get a hook up or two while searching the grounds for ??? I wonder if you get Blue eye that far up??
It's good to see you cleaned up again.
