  • Page 34: Adjusting The Range And Zoom

    2.3.2 Adjusting the Range and Zoom The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed signal transmitted and received by the radar. As the range increases, the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach distant targets. Closer targets, especially rain and waves, also reflect the longer pulses, which can add noise to the radar screen. You can also zoom in and out to adjust the visible range on the radar screen.

  • Page 35: Adjusting Rain Clutter Reduction

    TIP: Adjust the sea clutter reduction to a level such that some clutter remains visible on the radar display. If all clutter is removed, smaller targets may be missed and become a threat to your boat. 2.4.3 Adjusting Rain Clutter Reduction Rain Clutter are echoes reflected off rain, snow, and hail in the same manner as normal targets.

  • Page 63: Chapter 4 False Echoes

    CHAPTER 4 FALSE ECHOES False echoes are echoes appearing at positions where there is no target. False echoes occur occasionally as a result of the antenna receiving signals reflected off secondary objects. The phenomenon can be reduced but it takes some experience to recognize the distinct patterns of these echoes. There are several types of false echoes, you should familiarize yourself with the appearances of each type of false echoes, and the situations in which each type of false echoes tends to occur.

  • Page 64: Indirect Echoes

    Indirect Echoes Echoes may return indirectly through multiple reflections off surrounding objects. Indirect echoes would appear as a target at the same range as the direct echo but at the bearing from which the indirect echo was received. Indirect echoes usually have abnormal shapes and movements. False Echo False Echo Blind and Shadow Sectors Large or tall objects may block the path of radar beams and form a blind or shadow sector.
