THREAT

The DFR8 detects up to 4 radar band signals (threats) at a single time. The strongest rader signal is designated as
the Priority threat, and its frequency displays on the OLED. The other three threats (signals) are indicated in the
left side of the display. In the following example, 2 K band, 1 X band, and 1 Ka band threats are detected.
