Interference suppression
When another ship asks you to suppress interference, the following measures can be taken.
These measures should be performed based on the equipment priority listed below.
1) Broadband fish finder or sonar.
2) Multiple frequency fish finder or sonar.
3) Single frequency fish finder or sonar. (This equipment)
The FSV-75 is a single frequency sonar, therefore it has the lowest priority.
• Change the TX (transmission) frequency (see section 2.10.4).
• Lower the TX power (see section 2.9).
• Change the TX interval (see section 2.10.2).
