2.11 Adjusting the Picture

2.11.1 Suppressing bottom and surface reflections

In shallow fishing grounds, excessive sea surface and bottom reflections often interfere with wanted fish echoes and they cannot be eliminated sufficiently with the TVG controls. In such cases, try to reduce the output power, without turning down the gain. The picture becomes clearer when output power is reduces rather than when the gain is decreased.
