Menu Item Radar scanner Description Options
Gain
• All
Gain enables you to use a preset in
automatic mode, or to adjust its gain
manually.
• Auto
• Manual (0% to 100%)
Color Gain
• HD Radome
• HD Open Array
• SuperHD Open Array
• Quantum
Color Gain adjusts the intensity (color)
of displayed targets, but does not
affect the number of targets displayed.
Increasing the Color Gain causes
more targets to be displayed in the
same color, which may help you to
determine whether an object is an
actual target, or just background noise.
Reducing the Color Gain may provide
better target detail and detection.
• Auto
• Manual (0% to 100%)
Sea
• All
Radar echoes from waves around
your vessel can clutter the center of
the Radar picture, making it difcult
to detect real targets. Adjusting the
Sea gain reduces this clutter for up to
5 nautical miles (depending on wave
and sea conditions) from your vessel.
• Auto
• Manual (0% to 100%)
Auto Sea
Mode
• (Non HD) Digital Radome Auto Sea Mode enables you to quickly
select pre-congured settings to
achieve the best picture for different
situations. Raymarine recommends
the use of these modes to achieve
optimum results.
• Harbor — this is the default mode.
This setting takes account of land
clutter so that smaller targets, like
navigation buoys, are not lost.
• Coastal — accounts for the slightly
higher levels of sea clutter you might
encounter out of harbor and adjusts
the Radar display accordingly.
• Offshore — automatically adjusts
for high levels of sea clutter.
Power
• SuperHD Open Array The Power setting adjusts effective
transmit power. At zero, the Radar
operates at its standard power (4 kW
or 12 kW). At 90, the effective power
is increased by a factor of at least
two. Increasing the power makes
targets more distinct from noise. For
maximum benet, reduce Power to
prevent saturation of strong targets.
• Auto
• Manual (0% to 100%)
Antenna
• SuperHD Open Array
The Antenna setting scales the
effective antenna size. At zero, the
effective antenna size matches its
actual size. At 95%, the effective
antenna size is doubled. Increasing
the effective antenna size separates
targets that appear merged at lower
settings.
