Clutter / Background noise
The fishfinder picture may be impaired by echoes received from floating or submerged debris, air bubbles or even the boats movement. This is known as ‘background noise’ or ‘clutter’ and is controlled by the gain modes. The system will automatically control the gain settings according to the depth and water conditions. You can however adjust the gain settings manually if you prefer.
