Horizontal beamwidth

When the user wishes echoes to be displayed in high resolution, turn R40 on pcb 06P0192 clockwise to sharpen horizontal beamwidth. Do not turn it excessively clockwise, or an echo which should be displayed as a single solid mass may become hollow or split into smaller, fewer masses. Normally, set R40 at the mid- point of its travel.
