This is what Humminbird shows for the cone coverages. I'm just not seeing what would be shown on the screen. Do you have the option to switch from the two side scans to the 20 or 60 degree cone? How about sensitivity? Can you adjust it or just the brightness? I have read up a little on it but I want to hear from someone who has actually used one in one of our lakes. Any chance I can get a "ride along" to see it in person? Are you using the 797 Humminbird?

mark i am not a si guru but ill try to answer your questions
what you see on the screen si is everything directly under your boat plus ever how far you have it set to scan out each side cant remember exactly how far it will scan out each side you can use as regular sonar check pics 2 an 3 where i have the screen split you can adjust the sensitivity an the brightness i havent had mine very long speck is the si guru he has helped me with mine a bunch
it is the easiest to operate depthfinder that i have ever used
if you want to see it on the water let me know
i have the 997 speck has the mega 1197
if i told him wrong on anything speck you can correct it
