Page 36: Reducing Sea Clutter
2. RADAR OPERATION Reducing Sea Clutter 2.5.1 How the A/C SEA works Echoes from waves can be troublesome, covering the central part of the display with random signals known as “sea clutter”. The higher the waves and the higher the antenna above the water, the further the clutter will extend. Sea clutter may affect radar performance because real targets are sometimes hidden by the echoes of small waves.
Page 37: Reducing Precipitation Clutter
2. RADAR OPERATION 5. When the radar source is the Model 1800-BB/1900-BB series, sea clutter and rain clutter can be automatically rejected. Press the D: A/C AT ON/OFF soft key to select ON or OFF as appropriate. When turned on, it overrides A/C SEA and A/C RAIN settings.

Page 43: Measuring The Range
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.10 Measuring the Range You can measure the range to a radar target three ways: by the range rings, by the cursor, and by the VRM (Variable Range Marker). Measuring range by range rings Count the number of rings between the center of the display and the target. Check the range ring interval and judge the distance of the echo from the inner edge of the nearest ring.
Page 44: Measuring Range By Cursor
2. RADAR OPERATION Measuring range by cursor Operate the trackball to place the cursor intersection on the inside edge of the radar target. The range to the target, as well as the bearing, appears to the right of “+” at the bottom of the display. Cursor Target 319.
Page 45 2. RADAR OPERATION 3. Rotate the [ENTER] knob to place the VRM on the inside edge of a radar target. Read the VRM indication to find range to the target. You may also adjust the VRM, within the range ring interval, by pressing the VRM soft key.
Page 46: Measuring The Bearing
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.11 Measuring the Bearing There are two ways to measure the bearing to a target: by the cursor, and by the EBL (Electronic bearing Line). Measuring bearing by cursor Use the trackball to place the cursor at the center of the target. The bearing to the target appears in the range and bearing box at the bottom right-hand corner on the screen.

Page 52: Automatic Shift
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.16.2 Automatic shift The amount of automatic shift is calculated according to ship’s speed, and the amount of shift is limited to 50% of the range in use. For example, if you set the shift speed setting for 15 knots and the ship is running at 10 knots the amount of shift will be about 34%.
Page 53: Using The Offset Ebl
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.17 Using the Offset EBL The offset EBL can be used to predict a potential collision course. It can also be used to measure the range and bearing between two targets. 2.17.1 Predicting collision course The procedure below may be used to check if a radar target is on a potential collision course with your vessel.
Page 54: Measuring Range & Bearing Between Two Targets
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.17.2 Measuring range & bearing between two targets The procedure which follows shows how to measure the range and bearing between two targets, using the targets “A” and “B” in the figure below as an example. 1. Operate the trackball to place the cursor on the target “A.” 2.

Page 58: Echo Stretch
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.19 Echo Stretch Normally, the reflected echoes from long range targets appear on the display as weaker and smaller blips even though they are compensated by the radar’s internal circuitry. The echo stretch function magnifies these small blips in all ranges.
Page 59: Echo Averaging
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.20 Echo Averaging The echo average feature, which requires a Model 1800-BB/1900-BB series network radar, effectively suppresses sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position during every rotation of the antenna.
Page 60: Outputting Tll Data
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.21 Outputting TLL Data Target position data can be output to units of the network and shown on their plotter screen with the TTL mark ( ). This function requires position and heading data. 1. Operate the trackball to place the cursor on the target whose position you wish to output.
Page 61: Guard Alarm
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.22 Guard Alarm The guard alarm allows the operator to set the desired range and bearing for a guard zone. When ships, islands, landmasses, etc. violate the guard zone, an audio alarm sounds and the offending target blinks to call the operator’s attention.
Page 62: When The Alarm Is Violated
2. RADAR OPERATION The equipment then searches for targets inside the guard zone to determine guard alarm type. If a target is found inside the guard zone, the guard zone type becomes an “Outward guard alarm,” and any target exiting the guard zone will trigger the audio alarm.
Page 63: Watchman
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.23 Watchman 2.23.1 How watchman works The watchman function periodically transmits radar pulses for one minute to check for targets in a guard zone. If a target is found in the zone, watchman is cancelled, the audio alarm sounds and the radar continues transmitting. If no target is found the radar goes into standby for the number of minutes specified on the RADAR DISPLAY SETUP menu.
Page 64: Suppressing Second-Trace Echoes
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.24 Suppressing Second-trace Echoes In certain situations, echoes from very distance targets may appear as false echoes (second-trace echoes) on the screen. This occurs when the return echo is received one transmission cycle later, or after a next radar pulse has been transmitted.

Page 76: Interpreting The Radar Display
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.27 Interpreting the Radar Display 2.27.1 General Minimum and maximum ranges Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position.
Page 77 2. RADAR OPERATION Radar resolution There are two important factors in radar resolution (discrimination): bearing resolution and range resolution. Bearing resolution Bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display the echoes received from two targets, which are at the same range and close together, as separate targets. Bearing resolution is directly proportional to the antenna length, and inversely proportional to the radar's wavelength.
Page 78: False Echoes
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.27.2 False echoes Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no target or disappear even if there are targets. False target situations may be recognized, however, if you understand why they are displayed. Typical false echoes are shown below.
Page 79 2. RADAR OPERATION Virtual image A relatively large target close to your ship may show at two positions on the screen. One of them is the true echo directly reflected by the target and the other is a false echo which is caused by the mirror effect of a large object on or close to your ship as shown in the figure below.
Page 80: Sart (Search And Rescue Transponder)
2. RADAR OPERATION 2.27.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band.
Page 81 2. RADAR OPERATION General procedure for detecting SART response 1. Use the range scale of 6 or 12 nm as the spacing between the SART responses is about 0.6 nm (1125 m) to distinguish the SART. 2. Turn off the automatic clutter suppression (if applicable). 3.
Page 82: Racon (Radar Beacon)
2. RADAR OPERATION A/C SEA control For optimum range SART detection, this control should be set to the minimum. Care should be exercised as wanted target in sea clutter may be obscured. Note also that in clutter conditions the first few dots of the SART response may not be detectable, irrespective of the setting of the anti-clutter sea control.

PLOTTER OPERATION Reading the XTE (cross-track error) monitor The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker moves according to direction and distance off course. It is shown in black when the amount of cross-track error is within the XTE monitor range and yellow when it is over.
