Frequency (continued)
The wide cone angles associated with low frequencies (40° for 50kHz)
provide a large coverage area for fi nding fi sh. However, this also means that
wide cone angles produce less bottom detail and resolution. The narrow
cone angles associated with high frequencies (10° for 200kHz) provide
better bottom resolution and crisper detail, but therefore cannot show a
large coverage area for fi nding fi sh. Dual frequency mode combines the
improved contour detail and depth readings of the 200kHz frequency with
the wide coverage area of the 50kHz frequency.
To select a Frequency:
1. Highlight the 'Chart' tab on the Setup Menu.
2. Highlight the 'Frequency' selection fi eld and press ENTER.
3. Using the UP or DOWN Arrow, choose '200kHz,' 50kHz' or 'Dual' and
press ENTER. The selected frequency will be displayed in the bottom
left-hand corner of the chart.
