Title: depth setting with Lakemaster chip
Post by: saugerman on March 15, 2014, 06:16:16 PM: Several months ago I watched an episode of Linder's angling edge where Al was showing a neat thing he could do with a Lakemaster chip in his hummingbird unit.
He said if he wanted to work a depth of 10 ft mostly for the day, he showed how he could set the 10 foot depth to show up on his chart, in a color that really showed up well on his screen , by only hitting a few settings on his hummingbird 1198 unit.
Could anyone please tell me how to do this? I can not find the show where he was showing this. I have looked through several of his shows on the web to find it, with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
I am not real knowlegeable about the unit so if you can, explain in simple turms.
Thanks in advance.

Choose a Shallow Water Highlight(red) at say 8ft, and a Depth Highlight(green) of 12ft so that the mid-zone between the shallow red and deep green is the useful info you want. In this case water between 8ft and 12ft would be clearly delineated.

I did, go to the Lakemaster web site and it was pretty helpful also. I was told that you get a small book to explain the way Lakemaster chips work, but I didn't get it brand new , so I had not literature.
Thanks again for the imformation, it has been very helpful.
