Racon (Radar Beacon)

A racon is a radar transponder that sends a characteristic signal when the racon re-
ceives a radar pulse (normally only the three-centimeter band). If the racon signal is
sent on the same frequency as that of the radar, the signal appears on the radar dis-
play. The racon signal appears on the radar in one of two methods:
• A line that starts just after the position of the Racon
• A Morse code signal displayed with a line just after the position of the Racon
