Always set your tvg to the depth your fishing

 That way you will get the same return signal colours at the bottom / depth your fishing as you would only fishing in 10 m also set your tx power to 10 so it's always on max

cheers scottnofish

what gets me is when i turn it down to say 30 m and back my gain off it still fills the screen with lots of clutter and i have the clutter at 30%

does this seem right?

 I only run my clutter at 10 percent and can turn my gain to about 7 before I get any clutter on the screen
