How to suppress sidelobes

False echoes produced by sidelobes may appear on the display depending on the dis-
tribution pattern of a school of fish and the positional relationship between it and a ma-
rine object (reef, etc.) and wake reverberation. To reduce these sidelobes, use
[Sidelobe Sup.] on the [TX/RX Setting] menu ([S] tab).
For normal suppression, use [Sidelobe Sup.A]. The setting range is -3 to 4 and 0 is
the default setting. The higher the value the greater the suppression. A minus value (-
3 to -1) provides increased suppression.
Note: When the setting for [Sidelobe Sup.A] is a negative value, [TX/RX Mode] is auto-
matically selected to [Alternative]. See "Display Setting Menu" on page 7-3 for details.
For greater sidelobe suppression, use [Sidelobe Sup.B]. For details see page 2-19.
