CHIRP Sonar overview
CHIRP sonar produces a conical shaped beam. The
coverage of the conical beam is the water column directly beneath
the vessel.

Sonar is effective at a range of speeds. In deeper waters the CHIRP bandwidth is automatically optimized to improve bottom lock and the detection of moving objects (e.g. fish) in the wider water column.
