Furuno ETR-30N Additions to NavNet Series Operator’s Manual, Choosing pulse repetition rate PRR

3.2 Additions to NavNet Series Operator’s Manual

Depending on the version number of your NavNet series operator’s manual, its echo sounder descriptions may not match the screens you see. Please add the following descriptions to your manual if they are not already present.

Choosing pulse repetition rate (PRR)

Pulse repetition rate can be changed to reduce second reflection echoes. Normally, the highest rate (20) is used. When in shallow waters, second reflection echoes may appear between surface and actual bottom echo. In this case lower the pulse repetition rate. If the setting is too small, it may not be possible to search fish schools effectively. Select “20” unless second reflection echoes appear on the display. The option “S” means the ship’s speed dependent mode, where the PRR automatically changes with ship’s speed (requires speed input).

STC-HF, LF

Adjusts STC level for the high and low frequencies, and is useful for suppressing surface noise. The setting range is 0-10; the higher the setting the greater the degree of suppression. Setting 10 suppresses noise up to about several meters from own ship. Turn off the STC when there is no noise on the screen, otherwise weak echoes may be missed.
