BLIND SECTOR 1 and BLIND SECTOR 2

Set area (up to 2) where no radar pulses will be transmitted, and the heading should be adjusted before setting any sector. For example, set the area where an interfering object at the rear of the scanner would produce a dead sector (area where no echoes appear) on the display. To enter an area, enter start bearing relative the heading and dead sector angle. To erase the area, enter 0 for both the START and ANGLE sections. The setting range of START is 0 to 359° and ANGLE is 0 to 180°.
