Not just your Daddy’s Old Fishfinder anymore… CHIRP Sonar Technology
CHIRP sonar is one of the most sophisticated sonar technologies available for the fishing and boating public.The word itself is an acronym for Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse. CHIRP sonar provides amazingly clear SONAR & target separation and definition because it puts even more energy onto the target than traditional sonar. THE RIGHT STANDARD SONAR Standard sonar sends one single frequency at a time. Since the only feedback is from this one single frequency, there is limited information to work with, restricting the clarity and TRANSDUCER resolution available with standard sonar.
GARMIN CHIRP SONAR HD-ID Sonar Instead of sending just one single frequency, CHIRP sends a Traditional sonar that is available on Garmin continuous sweep of frequencies within a range from low to high. Garmin CHIRP sonar technology then interprets each fishfinders. Dual-beam, HD-ID sonar transmits frequency individually upon its return. Since this continuous two frequencies, generally either 77/200 kHz or sweep of frequencies provides CHIRP with a much wider range 50/200 kHz.combos. of information, CHIRP sonar is able to create a much clearer, higher resolution image with greater target separation and crisper fish arches. For example, 80-160kHz is sweeping through the trange from 80kHz all the way up to 160kHz and hitting every single frequency in between.
CHIRP TRANSDUCER The transducer selection is key to CHIRP performance. CHIRP transducers have elements that are tuned to specific frequency ranges and limit interference while transmitting and receiving Data. Choose the right frequency range for the water conditions you experience while boating. Minimal ring-down resulting from a low Q Incredibly sharp fish targets with separation even in the dense shoals

Tidal current is the speed and direction in which water is moving in order to create high or low tides. Garmin marine chartplotters have the ability to display both a chart and a report indicating the speed and direction of the current. General Terms used when Referring to Currents…
• Set - The direction that the current flows toward. Note that this is the opposite of the way winds are reported. • Drift - This is the speed of a current. • Velocity - As the typical term in physics infers, this is an indication of both speed and direction (set and drift). • Speed - How fast the water is moving in relation to a stationary object (i.e. shore, lighthouse). • Flood Flow - The tidal current is in flood when it is coming from the sea to the shore (tide is coming in, or high tide is ensuing). • Ebb Flow - The tidal current is in ebb when it is coming from shore and returning to the sea (low tide ensuing). • Slack Water - The point between flood and ebb (or ebb and flood) currents when there is no horizontal movement. • Stand - The point where vertical changes stop as the tide reverses. This is not the same as slack water; this is a tidal (vertical) occurrence, not a tidal current (horizontal) occurrence. • Maximum Current - The normal maximum speeds of the ebb and flood currents. This does not include effects of weather or run-off from the rain or melting snow, which can significantly affect tidal currents. QuickDraw Contours:

VHF & AIS What about VHF & AIS?… See and Be Seen Automatic Identification System An active tracking system used on vessels for transmitting their: ➢ Identity ➢ Position ➢ Course ➢ Speed.
All of that is useful information, but in order to access that information you must have an AIS receiver on board and the other vessel must be actively using an AIS Transceiver. Large commercial vessels are required to use AIS, but even though receivers are becoming popular on pleasure boats, very few have AIS transceivers…
So, even if you have AIS on board, you won’t be able to see any boat that doesn’t operate a transceiver VHF & AIS What is Important? VHF 315

➢GPS Chartplotters and AIS are very valuable for the functions they perform… although
➢Note: None of them can help prevent a collision with uncharted objects such as boats without AIS transmitters, floating debris, uncharted rocks, buoys that have drifted off station, etc.
➢Radar, on the other hand, doesn’t need the target to do anything Except Exist. Fantom SolidState vs. xHD Radars Things to Consider in a Radar ➢What is Motionscope Technology??- Uses Doppler processes to detect moving targets in real time, helping users avoid potential collisions, find flocks of birds and track weather.
➢Low Power Consumption??- 40W solid state Pulse Compression Technology with 5.2 degree beam width (18”) or 3.7 degree beam width (24”) for precise, high resolution images.
➢Does your Radar have??- Close and long-range detection from 20 feet to 48 nautical miles.
➢Solid State or Magnetron??-Instant turn on, no warm up needed, or Not?
➢What are Echo Trails??: provides a fading “trail” to help easily identify the direction of the moving targets and potential collision threats.
➢Are there Auto Modes?? to make things simpler to adjust for Gain, Sea Clutter Filters etc. Radar Tuning…Getting Rid of Clutter
