Advanced radar options Noise Rejection (Broadband 4G radar only) The Noise Rejection control sets the amount of noise filtering applied by the radar. Target sensitivity is increased at longer ranges when this control is set to Low or High, but does cause some loss of target discrimination. Tip: To get maximum range performance from Broadband 4G Radar, transmit on one range only, set the Noise Reject control to High and the threshold as low as possible. The default is 30% for less clutter on the screen. If OFF is selected for the HDS Carbon, the range performance is about equal to 3G radar. In some areas where extreme high interference may exist, try OFF for best radar image. Radar threshold The threshold sets required signal strength for the lowest radar signals. Radar returns below this limit are filtered and are not displayed. Default value: 30%. Target expansion Target expansion increases the length of targets in range, making them easier to see. Rejecting radar interference Interference could be caused by radar signals from other radar units operating in the same frequency band. A high setting reduces the interference from other radars. In order not to miss weak targets, the interference rejection should be set to low when no interference exists. Target separation (Broadband 4G Radar only) The Target separation control allows you to control the target discrimination of the radar (separation between objects is more prominent).

To get maximum range performance from Broadband 4G
Radar, transmit on one range only, set the Noise Reject control to
High and the threshold as low as possible. The default is 30% for less
clutter on the screen. If OFF is selected for the HDS Carbon, the
range performance is about equal to 3G radar. In some areas where
extreme high interference may exist, try OFF for best radar image.

In order not to miss weak targets, the interference rejection should
be set to low when no interference exists.
