6.28.3 RACON (Radar Beacon)
A RACON is a radar transponder that sends a characteristic signal when the RACON
receives a radar pulse (normally only the three-centimeter band). If the RACON signal
is sent on the same frequency as that of the radar, the signal appears on the radar
display. The RACON signal appears on the radar in one of two methods:
• A line that starts just after the position of the RACON
• A Morse code signal displayed with a line just after the position of the RACON
