52. GPSMAP 6000 7000 Series Owner s Manual Radar About the Range of Radar Signals The range of the radar signal indicates the length of the pulsed signal transmitted and received by the radar As the range increases the radar transmits longer pulses in order to reach distant targets Closer targets especially rain and waves also reflect the longer pulses which can add noise to the Radar screen Viewing information about longer range targets can also decrease the amount of space available on the Radar screen for viewing information about shorter range targets unless you are using Dual Range mode page 75 Tips for Selecting a Radar Range e Determine what information you need to see on the radar display For example do you need information about nearby weather conditions or targets and traffic or are you more concerned about distant weather conditions e Assess the environmental conditions in which the radar is being used Especially in inclement weather longer range radar signals can increase the clutter on the Radar screen and make it more difficult to view information about shorter range targets In rain shorter range radar signals can enable you to view information about nearby objects more effectively if the Rain Clutter and FTC settings are configured optimally e Select the shortest effective range given your reason for using radar and the current environmental conditions Selecting a Radar Range See Adjusting the Zoom Sca
