Band Spraying
Calculate the Boom Cal value in inches [cm] by multiplying the number of tips by the spacing between the tips.
Calculate the Adjusted Applied Rate by multiplying the Broadcast Rate by the Band Width in inches [cm], then
divide by the spacing in inches [cm].
For Example:
Broadcast Rate
Spacing
Band Width

Calculate the Speed Cal Value

Raven Radar Only
The initial Speed Cal value for Raven radar is 598 [152]. After the initial console programming has been
performed, this value may be adjusted to optimize the system's performance.
