360 - expecting too much?

[TroyBoy30]

Anything that wast on a speed of 1 shows the speed setting in the shot

I already posted shots of the brush piles. What you posted is not a man made brush pile, that’s a rubish pile left by a frigging bull dozer lol. Our brush piles are much smaller and dropped by hand from a boat. They can start off as little as a single tree and degrade from there. I have to rescan locations every few years because what was once 2 trees can be a stick in 4 years.

Troy this is not a 1 speed. Ask anyone who uses 360 a reasonable amount they they will tell you it is not 1

If that's 1, his unit is defective.

And as far as panoptic is concerned, some of us have abandoned old 2d technology since imagery sonar was available. panoptic is not new it is just 2d with zero chart speed.

[Wallace]

+1 on defective

[TroyBoy30]

I promise it’s 1. I’ll add boat speed back to the overlays and take screen shots with settings open. The only screen shots I have taken that were not a speed of 1 have the speed showing in the shot. Those were taken without the disable sonar setting turned on though cause you can see the interference. Turning it on got rid of the little lines but didn’t help the image.

[StrikeBack]

Troy we take your word for it but there is no doubt it is scanning too fast, The image is typical of a faster scan. It is NOT behaving like 1

[bobcoy]

I am not a 360 guy yet,but are we talking scan speed or boat speed here? Bob

[StrikeBack]

Bob, Scan speed is what is causing the streaking on that image

[bobcoy]

I thought as much but Troy referenced boat speed. Bob

[StrikeBack]

Bob, didn't get that at the time, but you are right and I am not sure if he is understanding it all.

[TroyBoy30]

Understanding what? I’ve told you all of the details already. Go back and read from the beginning. Boat speed is 0, scan speed is 1, all default settings except for playing with sensitivity and contrast. I even posted screen shots of the same tree on side imaging and 360. Brand new ultrex 360 unit that was a replacement for the first one I had that had a leak.

I mentioned adding boat speed to the data overlay because someone didn’t believe the boat was not moving. Now you don’t believe speed is set to 1. You guys would be great at customer service lol

[StrikeBack]

Troy we are customers not sellers.

[StrikeBack]

Either way the scan speed is showing too fast. As has been said if scan speed is 1 then the unit is faulty.

[TroyBoy30]

yea it was a joke dude.

hopefully i can post this without getting all of these shots mixed up.

here is what you asked for

150 foot range

no trolling motor



trolling motor on 4



trolling motor on 10



the scan speed works.....you can see it slow down or speed up

here is a rocky point with some pretty large rocks.





i tried to increase range like deb asked but it didnt seem to help. I tried to remember to get a full screen shot then a shot showing settings. I also added the boat speed to the data over lays so you can see my speed. I did the best I could between catching 22 fish! :-P







someone else asked for me to scan a brush pile with side imaging then with 360. here are those. you will notice the waypoint names are all the same. this is one of the larger ones at almost 15 feet tall







i see a dark spot which I assume is the shadow, but I don't see the tree at all. you can barely see it even when its in the water column

[TroyBoy30]

I also scanned some shallow visible wood. dern if I can see it on 360.









I even scanned a boat dock with a lift in the water and couldn't see it either. I lost that pic somehow


Ill ask Deb to take a look at these and see what comes.

Good job of getting those examples.

Did you get any SI images of the brush pile that is not in the water column since your goal to see stuff before you get to it with the 360?
Stuff in the water column is a lot easier to see than when the lake bottom is the background.

This is the same subject both ways:

[Wallace]

The shadows of the brush piles show up real well . Lol . Troy your last two shots is that the boat dock to the right about 3-4 o’clock?

[fisher12]

After looking at these last scans posted.I believe the 360 unit is working properly.

everything I did today has been posted above.

I believe I aksked if the shadow may be from the brush, but where is the brush?

Yes, that’s the dock. I didn’t even notice it till you asked and i looked. Shame that’s not what I wanted to see. At least it’s easy to see a huge double decker metal dock with 2 lifts in the water. Maybe everyone will start sinking metal brush piles

Cool. I can give it to my buddy with a clear conscience. I didn’t want to give someone something that may be defective. Thanks everyone.
