Description

Antenna Boost: scales the effective antenna size. At zero, the effective antenna size matches its actual size. At 95%, the effective antenna size is doubled. Increasing the effective antenna size separates targets that appear merged at lower settings.

Power Boost: adjusts effective transmit power. At zero, the radar operates at its standard power (4kW or 12kW). At 90, the effective power is increased by a factor of at least two. Increasing the power makes targets more distinct from noise. For maximum benefit, reduce power boost to prevent saturation of strong targets.
