1222xsv non touch and livescope

[crazyju]

I have a 1222xsv non touch with LS32. I have went through both manuals and can not find this info. On the livescope page, the default for the selection dial is distance. I can push it once and can adjust gain. It there anyway to add depth to this selection by addition and/or substitution?

Don’t think so.
I think you will have to go into Livescope menu and set depth.

Select LiveScope to view full screen.
Menu->Sonar Setup->On-Screen Control
You can choose Gain or Range but not Depth.
Auto on Depth works pretty good though.

Auto keeps moving depth, it constantly zooms in and out.

[LWINCHESTER2]

How deep are you fishing when you see this?

[crazyju]

Anything over about 10 ft. I tried it again this weekend. Around the 10ft mark or deeper it will just constantly shoot to over 200ft and back to the correct depth. Works fine if I manually adjust it.

[LWINCHESTER2]

Interesting. I don't generally have any problem with auto depth until I get to about 70 ft deep. Then I set it manually. I run the gain pretty high though.

no there is not.. mine did that too occasionally, but di correct itself with one of the settings
is it on barrel or shaft. ? do you have us2 on? there are a few filters to try adjusting

[crazyju]

On Shaft. Last night Auto worked well in 30ft of water. Went shallower the last hour 15ft and it would not lock on auto. I think my problem may be that I am fishing sharp drops that go from 15ft to 30ft. Everytime I scan out over the drop, It is adjusting for the drop off. I get the concept, but it is not usable this way. Manual depth works great.

[LWINCHESTER2]

Right. I'm fishing much deeper but the same thing applies. It tries to adjust to the deepest water it sees and that varies as you move the transducer. The only solution I know of in that situation is manual depth.

I suspect on shaft may have a slight shadow when trying to get vertical reading for depth. depth setting will be deepest reading so I can see shaft mount having issues. I'm on torpedo and use manual anyways..
