I just bought the same unit and have been using it these past few outings.

I use 200 khz on the main screen.

When I want to see in 83, I use the split screen with 83 and 200 each side.

Switchfire is a great feature. It brings the 'bird's performance up there with the higher priced units. The older units were way too filtered, which I think handicaps them. I have it on MAX.

I like RTS. I have it on in a Narrow window. You notice something coming up NOW, instead of a seconds later.

Always have it on Advanced, otherwise some features will not be turned on.

I have it set on saltwater shallow for less than 200 feet.

Use Bottom Lock if you are NOT looking for structure but fish that at AT or ON the bottom. Theoretically, this is good for halibut.

Hope that helps.
