Showing SART marks on the radar display

This radar is equipped with a feature which optimally sets up the radar for SART
detection. This feature automatically detunes the radar receiver out of its best
tuning condition. This erases or weakens all normal radar echoes, but the SART
marks are not erased because the SART response signal scans over all
frequencies in the 9 GHz band. When the radar approaches the SART in
operation, the SART marks will enlarge to large arcs, blurring a large part of the
screen.
To set up for SART detection do the following:
1. Roll the trackball to choose the MENU box and then push the wheel or the
left button.
2. Roll the wheel to choose 1 ECHO and then push the wheel or the left button.
3. Roll the wheel to choose 5 SART and then push the wheel or the left button.
4. Roll the wheel to choose ON and then push the wheel or the left button.
With SART turned on radar functions are set as follows:
Range:
Pulselength:
Echo Stretch:
Noise Rejector:
Echo Averaging:
Interference Rejector: Off
Performance Monitor: Off
A/C RAIN:
5. Push the right button twice to close the menu.
"SART" appears at the bottom of the display when this feature is active. Be sure
to turn off the SART feature when SART detection is no longer your objective.
