First time attempting side-scan data collection using a Lowrance Elite5-TI with the totalscan transducer.
Collected SL2 files, in left pane of RM, show "Channels: Primary, Secondary, DownscanSidescanBoth" when hovered over. Same tracks added to downscan depth map project work as expected. When added to my first Sidescan Mosaic, the tracks look like entirely noise. (See image).
Wondering if I need to change settings in the Lowrance? Perhaps only collect side-scan frequencies, and not downscan at the same time....is that possible? Something I'm doing wrong in RM?
The swathes shown are roughly 28 feet across. I've tried noise reduction setting changes in RM with no effect. Collection was in fresh water, 5-40 feet deep. Collection boat speed approximately 5 miles per hour. Lowrance set to 433 Khz setting, max ping rate and data size.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
