Fast scan (Broadband Radar only). Sets the speed of the radar antenna rotation. This option gives faster target updates. Ú Note: Maximum speed may not be achieved depending on the radar Settings, Mode, and Range selected. The radar will only rotate as fast as the current control settings allow. Sea State Set the Sea State control according to current sea conditions for best sea clutter rejection. Target boost (3G and 4G Broadband, and Pulse Radar only) The target boost control increases pulse length or reduces radar bandwidth to make targets appear larger in range and increase radar sensitivity. Radar view options Radar symbology Radar symbology defined in the Radar Settings panel can be turned on/off collectively. See the radar panel illustration showing optional radar items. Target trails You can set how long the trails generated from each target on your radar panel remain. You can also turn OFF target trails. Ú Note: True motion is recommended when using Target trails Clearing target trails from the panel When target trails are displayed on the panel, the radar menu expands to include an option where you can clear target trails from your radar panel temporarily. The target trails start to appear again unless you switch them off as described above. 136 Radar | HDS Carbon Operator Manual
