1.7 Receiver
Sensitivity
The [GAIN] key adjusts the sensitivity (gain)
of the receiver. It works in precisely the same
manner as the volume control of a broadcast
receiver, amplifying the signals received.
To set the sensitivity, you first choose the
automatic sensitivity setting which best
matches current sea condition. Then, if
necessary, you may fine tune the sensitivity
manually. The proper setting is such that the
background noise is just visible on the
screen.
If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak
echoes may be missed. On the other hand
excessive sensitivity yields too much
background noise; weak targets may be
missed because of the poor contrast between
desired echoes and the background noise on
the display.
1. Press the [GAIN] key consecutively until
