VViCKiD Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Hi guys, So yesterday I went out to Browns(450m deep). My sounder gave me trouble all day and couldn't pick up the bottom. I have a lowrance hds 7 touch gen2 with transducer hst-dfsbl. The settings I had were: -installation = hst dfsbl - 50 Hz mode - fishing mode = deep water - ping speed = 3 - sensitivity = 90% - scroll speed = 25-50% Do these settings look correct to you? Would you have a page up on configuring Sounders? What are your settings? Many thanks in advance ! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolongeramember Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'd say the sounder is not powerful enough. 450m is mega deep for the average sounder to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest no one Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 At the sounder night we ran a few months back there was similar issues raised. I'd think a hds7 could go that far though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hope reading the bottom out there....1 khz transducer is what you need to punch the depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
