200khz can't really be heard (by me anyway!) but the 83/50khz easily can. If you are having "glitching" every pulse I think you may be referring to interference from another nearby sonar. Another FF'd kayaker or boat within 50 yards or so. If it's vertical random lines every pulse anyway. Completely normal.

Other than that, maybe check your install, make sure you have no air or grime under the transducer and you have enough liquid, and that your head unit is set to the right transducer (not sure if Elite has that option but worth a check).
