Sector blanking

Ú Note:
This feature is only supported by Halo radars.
Radar installed in close proximity to a mast or structure could cause
unwanted reflections or interference to appear on the radar image.
Use the sector blanking feature to stop the radar from transmitting
on up to four sectors in the image.
The sector blanking option is available in the radar installation
dialog. Refer to the installation manual.
Ú Note:
Sectors are setup relative to the heading line of the radar.
The bearing of the sector is measured from the center line of
the sector.
Ú Note:
Sector blanking should be applied very carefully to avoid
reducing the radar's usefulness in identifying valid and
potentially dangerous targets.
