SURFACE CLUTTER Algae, plankton, air bubbles, boat wakes, and schools of bait fish near the surface of the water can create large surface echoes on the paper. These echoes can extend far down the paper and interfere with fish or other target echoes. Lowrance has a special feature called "Surface Clarity Control" or "5CC" that co ...

the sonar can separate two tar- gets that are 11/2 inches apart. This is considered good resolution. However, if a sonar' pulse length was 500 micro-seconds, then the sonar could only separate targets that are at least 12 inches apart. That is why it is so important to pick a sonar unit that gives you the capability to change to narrow pulse l ...

be used to help alleviate this condition. LORAN-C INTERFACE A remarkable advantage of the X-16 is its ability to print Loran-C coordinates in either Time Differen- ces (ID's) or Latitude and Longi- tude. (NOTE: The X-16 has been designed to use only the Lowrance Loran-C receiver.) To connect the Loran to the X-16, simply splice the white and b ...

selected, the transmit pulse length would be: 525 + 200 = 725 micro-seconds. We added the ini- tial transmit pulse of 525 micro- seconds which is listed in the initial transmit pulse chart, to 200 micro-seconds, which is Sup- pressor level 3, according to the Discrimination - Suppressor chart. So the total initial transmit pulse length is 725 micro ...

A hard bottom returns a very strong signal caus- ing a wide gray line. A soft, muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is emphasized with a narrow gray line. Do not advance the control too ...
