Rain clutter, Echo trail, Interference reject, Echo stretch, Noise display).
Note, The controls of Gain, Sea Clutter Filter and Rain Clutter Filter are independent from the controls at any radar
display. Therefore their relative position for the best picture may differ a lot of set values in a radar display.

Radaroverlay settings dialog. box (See example above, headline information is missing).
