Simrad MF90
The Simrad MF90 is a medium-frequency 360-degrees omni-sonar developed for efficient fish-finding. By means of a highly efficient composite transducer and high-end transceiver electronics you can transmit and receive in the frequency range of 75 to 85 kHz.
With the newly developed components used by the MF90 you are able to achieve high resolution on longer ranges. You can also tune the operating frequency to better detect or avoid noise sources such as another echo sounder.
The Simrad MF90 uses the latest "Winson" software. This unique software platform is common for all Simrad sonars. It allows you to present the various sonar echoes in separate views, and these can be placed on separate display monitors. Another great feature with the new software is its ability to "ping" all the beams simultanously. This increases the ping rate, and thus offers a more frequent update of the sonar echoes in the views.
The composite transducer makes it possible to transmit and receive in a wide range of frequencies, in fact 75-85 kHz! This makes it possible to achieve high resolution on longer ranges as well as tuning the frequency for better detection or avoiding a noisy source such as another echosounder or any other acoustic source.
