3.3 SEA CLUTTER SUPPRESSION (SEA)
Sea clutter suppression level Sea clutter suppression level
LOW Suitable level
When using the sea clutter suppression function, never set the suppression
level too high canceling out all image noises from the sea surface at close range.
Detection of not only echoes from waves but also targets such as other ships or
dangerous objects will become inhibited. When using the sea clutter
suppression function, make sure to choose the most appropriate image noise
suppression level.
The sea clutter suppression level is
displayed at the lower part of the screen
when the SEA control is turned left or
right.
Turning the control right increases the
value, and turning it left decreases the
value.
It is necessary to adjust the sea clutter suppression level in order to use
the radar exactly. Failure to do so, it is possible to obtain an accurate
radar echo.
About the SEA control: please refer to the number 12 in Chapter 2.2.
