BASIC OPERATION
■ Adjusting the screen
The followings are typical basic operation examples
that may hinder radar reception (sea clutter,
precipitation interference and echoes from other
radar). See also Basic Radar Theory in Chapter 9
(pp. 47–49)
D Adjusting the GAIN
z Rotate the
GAIN
/ control clockwise to
increase, or counter clockwise to decrease the
gain.
L The increased gain may increase screen noise.

at close range. Reduce the receiver gain for close
objects within a radius of approximately 8 NM to
eliminate sea clutter.
