Adjust Near AGC

When an excessively strong echo is received in shallow or heavily sedimented
waters, you may not be able to suppress it by the TVG control alone. In this case,
a fish school which is displayed at more than 300 m away may disappear
gradually when the ship is approaching the fish school.
Use the Near TVG feature to suppress this strong echo. Normally set it between
3 and 4, however, this setting depends on the sea area. Do not set it too high; all
echoes (including noise) from near distance may be painted in red.
