HOOK X series
Frequency
Controls the transducer frequency used by the
unit. This unit supports conventional, CHIRP and
DownScan sonar frequencies.
Only frequencies supported by
your transducer will appear on the
Frequency menu.

NOTE
:
When using a custom range,
you may not receive any digital depth
readings, or you may receive incorrect
depth information.
Sonar frequencies
50 kHz
Best depth penetration with
lower resolution
83 kHz
Wider cone angle provides more
bottom coverage and easy lure
tracking
200 kHz
Highest sensitivity and best tar-
get separation in shallow water
Low CHIRP
Provides the best depth pene-
tration with lower resolution
Medium
CHIRP
Better depth penetration than
High CHIRP with minimal loss of
target separation
High CHIRP
Better resolution in shallow
water than Medium CHIRP
Custom high
Selects a custom single
frequency from within High or
Low frequency ranges to help
reduce/eliminate interference
from other CHIRP transducers
