Sea Clutter
Curve
• All
This menu item allows you to adjust the Sea
Clutter — Radar echoes from waves can make it
difcult to detect real targets. These echoes are
known as “sea clutter”. Several factors can affect
the level of clutter you see, including the weather
and sea conditions, and the mounting height of
the Radar. The sea clutter curve setting adjusts
the Radar's sensitivity to sea clutter. The steepest
setting for the curve is 1, and the most shallow
setting is 8.

SuperHD open array Radars with software version
3.23 or above or HD radomes support multiple
scan speeds:
• 24 RPM
• Auto (24 / 48 RPM)
The Auto option automatically selects the
appropriate speed for your Radar range. 48RPM
is used at Radar ranges of up to 3nm. It provides
an increased refresh rate, which is useful at high
speed or in areas where you have large numbers
of Radar targets. At Radar ranges of greater than
3nm the display switches the Radar speed to
24RPM.
