Beam Select
Beam Select sets which sonar returns from the
transducer will be displayed on the screen.
When set to 200/83 kHz, the returns from both beams are blended by starting with
the 83 kHz wide beam return, dimming it, and then overlaying it with the 200 kHz
narrow beam return. The darker 200 kHz narrow beam sonar returns will stand out
from the paler 83 kHz wide beam sonar returns. The Split Sonar View continues to
display the sonar returns from each beam in their respective windows. The blended
information is shown in the Sonar View, Sonar Zoom View and the Big Digits View.

returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam.

displayed in the Sonar View, the Sonar View, the Sonar Zoom View, the Big Digits

returns from both beams in their respective windows. The RTS® Window in the
Sonar View will display the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam.
When set to 83 kHz, the returns from the 83 kHz wide beam will be displayed in the
