    Lots of clutter on Livescope

    Tried scoping yesterday but couldn't increase gain higher than 59 without the screen turning to solid showing clutter. I normally run around 70 to help seeing jig. Any idea the cause. At Fork in Texas so possibly pollen? Thx

    When the pollen gets heavy, it definitely impacts the image. Happens every year on my home lake. Lasts a few weeks depending on the weather.

    In late spring the pollen will get to around 15 feet on lake Cumberland & it will definitely mess with you.

    I never run mine that high. I am normally very close to 60. If you feel you need higher gain, go to Color Limit and raise it to get rid of clutter.

    And about a year ago or so (when 27.01 came out) he changed his preferences to color limit zero and crank up the color gain...

    I have the same issue with algae at Clear Lake. Color limit somewhat corrected the issue.

    New to LVS, but was watching Jones TM/Castledine setup vid and Jones recommends setting Color Gain at 90 and using TVG set to low if you have pollen/particulate heavy water, otherise they recommend leaving TVG set to OFF. I have seen other/older vids recommending Color Gain in the 60% range, I guess that's on older software? Anyway, as stated new to LVS so don't know which is correct/better but am trying out Jones's recs with pretty good results so far...
