[CA] [CA11] Side scan issue

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

John,

The imaging shown within the video looks very good to me and to be that of a properly working system operating over a relatively nondescript bottom. The humps which hold fish appear to render correctly within CHIRP conical sonar and within side imaging. The maximum practical range for side imaging is 180'. Accordingly, it would not be recommended that it be ranged out to 240' and greater as was shown in your video. Like DownVision, SideVision is most useful in locating and identifying structure ... and structure often attracts and holds fish. CHIRP conical sonar is best for locating fish.
