Radar menu Chapter 3-27

• Radar colors - There are several color settings to choose from for

the radar display. See Palette setup ([MENU],[8],[3]).

• Range - The extension of the range depends on how powerful the

connected radar antenna is. There are several ways of adjusting the

range on the screen, the quickest way is:

1-9

Use one of the shortcut keys to quickly go to a different range:

Press [1] = 0.125 nm [2] = 0.25 nm [3] = 0.50 nm

[4] = 0.75 nm [5] = 1.5 nm [6] = 3 nm

[7] = 6 nm [8] = 12 nm [9] = 24 nm

+/-

Or you may use the +/- zoom keys to go to a different range

ADJ

Or from the active control panel: use the cursor key to highlight the

current range scale, then adjust the range scale with approx. 10 per-

cent each time you press the +/- keys.

• Show navigation waypoint on radar display - (will require a

valid position, and heading input from connected sensor)

When a navigation mode is active, the approaching waypoint can be

shown on the radar display

ENT

Call up Radar quick menu

Show navigation waypoint

Turning the navigation mode off will temporarily disable the function,

because there is nothing to show - but when navigation is started up

again, the function will also become active again. You will not have

to turn it on and off all the time. Press [ENT], [4] Hide navigation

waypoint if you no longer wish to have it shown on the radar display.

• Targets - The shape of the target has a direct affect on the image

displayed. A flat surface at right angles reflects a good image. Flat

surfaces at shallow angles reflect very poor images. A concave

surface will concentrate the reflective energy and display an image

larger than normal. Convex surfaces will scatter the energy and dis-

play week images. A conical surface may not display any image.

The texture of the target surface also controls the amount of reflected

signal, and therefore the image displayed. A smooth surface is a good

reflector, while rough surfaces tend to break up the reflection.
