Default Lowrance users?

I have the hds 7 touch w structure scan. I mainly fish salt water.

What color palette are u guys using for the fishfinder and side/down scan imaging? Which one do u find looks/works better..

I mainly use the brown for structure scan... Im still playing around with the colors palette for the fish finder\depthfinder.. also playing with the sensitivity settings in fush finder mode.
The Manual says use the white palette for the fish finder but..

I have one Alphaman, but I am having some problems with mine. It might be operator error, might not be, not sure yet. If you head to big lake soon let me know I will bring mine down there so you can tell me if I am doing something wrong.

I have the HDS 7 but have not had time to set up the structure scan yet. Still in box. For the sonar I use the lowrance red and blue. I leave the sensitivity on auto unless I'm in deeper water. (100' +)

I have a HDS, I think they are on the factory settings. Played with several and they seemed to be the best.

That said, I think people's vision varies, hence the different palettes. Play with it until you find one that works.
