[VI] Radar Interference 
When another  radar  equipment using  the same frequency band  as  that on  own  ship is  near  own ship, a 
radar interference pattern may appear on the radar display.    This interference pattern consists of a number 
of  spots  which  appear  in  various forms.    In  many  cases,  these spots  do  not  always  appear  at  the  same 
places, so that they can be discriminated from the target echoes.    (See Figure 6.8.)

If radar equipment causing an interference pattern and this radar are of the same model, their transmitting 
repetition  frequency  is  nearly  the  same.    As  a  result,  interference  patterns  may  be  displayed 
concentrically. 
In this case, the interference patterns cannot be eliminated by using only the interference reflector function, 
so press [TX/PRF] several times to fine-tune the transmitting repetition frequency. 
An  interference  suppressing  effect  can  be  heightened  by  applying  a  different  transmitting  repetition 
frequency to the interference pattern source radar and this radar.
