Topic: making a cross section

[j2000]

Hello .. I am using 998csi. Is accurate for a range of values ​​on the right side and the left, if the average river depth of 3-7 meters and the average river width of 30 to 60 meters?

What is the best setting for SI range, i set for 70 meter or auto ?

This relates to determining the value of "cross section" at any point that I will make later.

Thanks

Joel

I’m not real sure what you are asking here Joel.  Your 798 unit should be able to work in 3 to 7 meters of water and out to 60 meters in width at those water depths.

I would use a steady manual setting like 70 meters if I wanted to see how the sides of river were shaped.  However, using a smaller Si Range setting will increase the viewable Si sonar resolution on the unit itself.  I don’t like the SI Range on a unit automatically changing on me because I would have to constantly look to see what the range is set at and factor that into my brain when I’m looking at the Si sonar readings.

or set it for 30 meters if you go down the middle of the river...

That would be even better!
