The Lowrance ActiveTarget 2 XL Settings Guide Is Live

The new ActiveTarget 2 XL PDF Settings Guide is now available on Fishfinder Coach. 28 pages of field-tested settings for the XL transducer, designed to give you one dialed setup that works.

Why the XL Has Its Own Guide

The XL is not a software update of ActiveTarget 2. It's a different physical transducer with a different beam layout. The same settings file does not apply.

Spec ActiveTarget 2 ActiveTarget 2 XL
Effective coverage ~135° ~180°
Cone angle 18° 20°
Transducer dimensions 5.90 × 3.24 × 2.28 in 7.08 × 4.47 × 2.68 in
Module ActiveTarget 2 ActiveTarget 2
Display support HDS Pro, HDS Live, HDS Carbon, Elite FS HDS Pro, HDS Live, HDS Carbon, Elite FS

Because the beam is wider and the transducer is larger, the values that work on the original AT2 are not the values that get the XL displaying right. That's the gap this guide fills.

What's in the Guide

28 pages, no filler. Every value has a reason it's set that way.

  • Forward, Down, and Scout settings
  • Contrast, Noise Reject, Stable View, Angle Offset, Depth Offset
  • Compatibility notes for HDS Pro, HDS Live, HDS Carbon, and Elite FS
  • Troubleshooting section, so when results aren't there, you can rule out the unit before second-guessing the menu

The point is one dialed setup. Same settings, lake to lake. Have confidence in your settings, and you'll know it isn't the menu holding you back. If something looks off after the settings are in, the troubleshooting section walks you through what to check on the unit itself.
