10.5 Radar Setup

The three setup features we want to modify are Adjust Trigger Delay, Adjust Main Bang Suppression and Adjust Heading Line.

We will set them up in that order, but before making any adjustments, make sure the display is set to a range of 1/8 nautical miles and that Gain, Anti-Sea Clutter (STC), Anti-Rain Clutter (FTC), Main Bang Suppression and Trigger Delay all have been set to zero percent.
