The interference rejector circuit is a kind of sig-
nal correlation circuit. It compares the received
signals over successive transmissions and sup-
presses randomly occurring signals. There are
three levels of interference rejection depending
on the number of transmissions that are corre-
lated. These are indicated by the legends IR1, IR2
and IR3 at the bottom right-hand position of the
screen.

1.25 Echo Trails
Echo trails are simulated afterglow of target ech-
oes that represent their movements relative to own
ship or true movements with respect to land, in a
single tone or gradual shading depending on the
setting on the TRAIL menu.

True or relative trails
You may display echo trails in true or relative
motion. Relative trails show relative movements
between targets and own ship. In the true mo-
tion, the moving targets have trails according to
their speeds, but stationary targets stay still.

between targets and own ship. In the true mo-
tion, the moving targets have trails according to
their speeds, but stationary targets stay still.
True motion trails require a gyrocompass signal
and own ship speed input to cancel out own ship's
movement and present true target movements in
accordance with their over-the-ground speeds and
courses (not heading). Refer to the automatic and
manual speed input procedures for entering own
ship's speed information.
