WARNING:
In the case of Anticlutter Sea values that are too large, weak targets can
be lost, especially at close range.
If the sea is very rough, it can be expected that radar targets which only
produce weak reflections will remain undetected, even if the setting is
correct.
Manual suppression of sea clutter: Click into the SEA area
and set the value by means of the trackball so that the clutter
caused by a rough sea is as weak as possible but radar targets
are still clearly visible. Then press the DO key.
☞ If the Clean Sweep function is switched on, the radar
requires several revolutions of the antenna in order to adjust itself to changed Anticlutter Sea
values. Therefore, any large changes should only be made slowly (step by step).
Automatic suppression of sea clutter: With the MORE key,
click into the SEA area, and then click on AUTO.
☞ The automatic Anticlutter Sea function has the advantage
that the clutter values taken into account in the upwind
direction are different from those taken into account in the
downwind direction.
To check the display of very small target-echoes, it is
necessary to switch over to manual operation.
6. Anticlutter Rain (suppression of rain clutter)
WARNING:
In the case of heavy rain, snow and hail, it can be expected that, even if
the setting is correct, radar targets which only produce weak reflections
- especially targets situated behind a strong rain front - will remain unde-
tected. Such targets can appear suddenly when leaving the rainy area.
Manual suppression of rain clutter: Click into the RAIN area,
and set the value by means of the trackball so that the boundary
of the rainy area is clearly visible and the clutter in the region
behind it is as weak as possible. However, radar targets should
still be clearly visible. Then press the DO key.
☞ If (on the open sea) there are no radar targets available, set the rain clutter suppression function
so that the boundary of the rainy area is clearly visible and the clutter in the region behind it is
as weak as possible.
Automatic suppression of rain clutter: With the MORE key,
click into the RAIN area, and then click on AUTO.
☞ The automatic Anticlutter Rain function has the advantage
that it takes place individually for regions with widely
differing precipitation.
To check the display of very small target-echoes, it is
necessary to switch over to manual operation.
