The short (narrow) pulse width used in short range has high resolution and is effective for dense
targets.
The long (wide) pulse width used in long range has high gain (sensitivity) and is effective for detecting
small targets.

Ranges 0.25NM and below, and 12NM and above are setup with same pulse width in SP and LP.
