Sonar Frequencies

NOTE: The frequencies available depend on the chartplotter, sounder modules, and transducer being used.

Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular goals and the present depth of the water.

Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for high-speed operation and rough sea conditions.

Bottom definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a higher frequency.

Lower frequencies use wider beam widths, which can let the fisherman see more targets, but could also

generate more surface noise and reduce bottom signal continuity during rough sea conditions. Wider beam

widths generate larger arches for fish target returns, making them ideal for locating fish. Wider beam widths

also perform better in deep water, because the lower frequency has better deep water penetration.

CHIRP frequencies allow you to sweep each pulse through a range of frequencies, resulting in better target

separation in deep water. CHIRP can be used to distinctly identify targets, like individual fish in a school, and for

deep water applications. CHIRP generally performs better than single frequency applications. Because some

fish targets may show up better using a fixed frequency, you should consider your goals and water conditions

when using CHIRP frequencies.

Some sonar black boxes and transducers also provide the ability to customize preset frequencies for each

transducer element, which enables you to change the frequency quickly using the presets as the water and your

goals change.

Viewing two frequencies concurrently using the split-frequency view allows you to see deeper with the lower

frequency return and, at the same time, see more detail from the higher frequency return.

Selecting the Transducer Frequency

NOTE: You cannot adjust the frequency for all sonar views and transducers.

You can select which frequencies appear on the sonar screen.

NOTICE

Always be aware of local regulations on sonar frequencies. For example, to protect orca whale pods, you might

be prohibited from using frequencies between 50 to 80 khz with in ½ mile of an orca whale pod. It is your

responsibility to use the device in compliance with all applicable laws and ordinances.
