    Helix 7 Chirp DI

    Just got a new Helix 7. Should I set it to 455 khz or 800 khz? Played with it in the lake yesterday, but fish weren't easy to see or I haven't trained my eyes to spot them yet.
    Also, can I do screen shots on this unit?

    what depth are you at? I get much better returns with 800 khz and can pick up more fish. I only scan down to 25 or 30 ft though. Here's a link to a good blog with pics on the subject.

    Use 455 as the cone angle is wider.
