Great news David.

I dont want to be a 'party-pooper' and its nothing that cant be tweaked but as requested, with time permitting, testing has continued.

I must regretably withdraw my earlier remark - ''The good news for me is after testing SW v Ak I am content that the previous balance of sonar performances has been maintained in this mod.''

I am a SW diver (mainly) so have taken a closer look at the sonar changes. I was lead to believe that it was mainly the SA that had been 'adjusted. However I have found significant changes to the relative performances of the SW and Ak TAs in the mod.

Under identical Test conditions and using separate installs of Stock 1.04 and LwAmi
3.072 I found the following maxima with TA NB marking(***):

Stock SW - 47.9 nm. marked and 65.7 nm unmarked (***) with difficulty
StocK AK 1 - 38.8 nm. marked
LwAmi SW - 33.3 nm. marked.
LwAmi AK 1 - 37 nm. marked.

An equivalence of performance for the LwAmi SW and AK TA NBs swings the balance towards the AK. But I leave others to judge.
