Wide Surface Clutter Band on Axiom 9

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum jcarufo,

The apparent width of the surface band (representative of the distance that sound travels during the transmission portion of the ping/listen cycle) will typically extend approximately 3' from the surface. When operating in shallow water, the zone will physically occupy more of the upper-most portion of the fishifnder plot. This zone will physically occupy less of the upper-most portion of the fishfinder plot as the vessel moves to deeper water, forcing an increasingly larger water column to be displayed and scaled accordingly. Should I have missed the point of your thread, then please use the MFD's screen capture feature (found on the MFD's Power Menu) to capture screen images showing the symptom which you have described. The screen capture files are stored onto the microSD memory card within the MFD's memory card reader. Please attach these files to this thread for further analysis.
