1.28 How to Reject Second-trace Echoes
In certain situations, echoes from very distance targets can 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.
This equipment lengthens the pulse repetition period to reject false echoes.
Note: This function decreases the number of echo hits. Use this function carefully so
that the possibility of detecting small targets and high-speed craft does not lessen.
To reject second trace echoes, do the following:
1. Open the [MAIN MENU].
2. Select [ECHO], then push the ADJUST knob.
3. Select [2ND ECHO REJ], then push the ADJUST knob.
4. Select [ON], then push the ADJUST knob. Select [OFF] to disable rejection.
5. Close the menu.
