Fixed time trail, Continuous trail, 1Trail attributes

Fixed time trail

1.When the elapsed time clock counts up to the trail time selected, the elapsed time display freezes.

2.The oldest portions of trails are erased so only the latest trail, equal in length to the trail time selected, is shown.

3.Trail continues.

For example, the one minute trail time is se- lected. When the elapsed time clock counts up to 60 seconds, the elapsed time display freezes at “60,” but the latest one minute of trail are erased and then trail continuous.

3.5Suppressing Radar Interference

Radar interference may occur when near an- other shipborne radar operating in the same frequency band as your radar. Its on-screen appearance is many bright dots either scat- tered at random or in the form of dotted lines extending from the center to the edge of the display. Figure 3-5 illustrates interference in the form of curved spokes. Interference ef- fects are distinguishable from normal echoes because they do not appear in the same place on successive rotations of the scanner.

Continuous trail

The maximum continuous trail time is 99 min- utes and 59 seconds. When the elapsed time clock counts up to that time the elapsed time display is reset to zero and trail begins again.
