Title: Humviewer.
Post by: oldcrappie on July 01, 2012, 02:40:55 AM

I need some help.
Here are 2 images taken from HumViewer. As well one as a snapshot.

HumViewer SI Image
 
I know that I am not moving but why is there a lighted streak alone the left side of the center of the water column? I also get this while I am under way.

HumViewer 2D Image
 
I cannot get the color that is found in the default 2d image.
I also get many bottom returns, which make this image useless.

Snapshot from unit
 
This looks is what I see on the unit.

Note: I do get multiple bottom returns in 2d sonar. What can I do in HumViewer and unit to correct this?

Not knowing how you have mounted your transducer only makes  us guessd but I would venture a guess that the streak is a reflection from something on your boat bottom or transom area.
Or the transducer is not level.

Bottom returns can be filtered using settings on the unit.

Humviewer color is a bit different than the HB screen..
