Adjusting Sea Clutter on the Radar Screen
You can adjust the appearance of clutter caused by choppy sea conditions. The sea clutter setting
effects the appearance of nearby clutter and targets more than it effects the appearance of distant
clutter and targets. A higher sea clutter setting reduces the appearance of clutter caused by nearby
waves, but it can also reduce or eliminate the appearance of nearby targets.
Note
: Depending upon the radar in use, the sea clutter setting configured for use in one radar mode
may or may not be applied to other radar modes or to the Radar Overlay (
).
