1.9 Suppressing Rain Clutter
The vertical beamwidth of the antenna is
designed to see surface targets even when
the ship is rolling. However, by this design the
antenna will also pick up rain clutter (rain,
snow, or hail) in the same manner as normal
targets. The illustration below shows the
appearance of rain clutter on the display.
The A/C RAIN control adjusts the receiver
sensitivity as the A/C SEA control does but
rather in a longer time period (longer range).
The higher the setting the greater the
anti-clutter effect.

Measuring range by the cursor
Operate the cursor pad to place the cursor on

Measuring range by the range rings
Count the number of rings between the
center of the display and the target. Check
the range ring interval and judge the distance
of the echo from the inner edge of the nearest
ring.
