Range information<br />

Minimum range<br />

Radar OVERLAY<br />

The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target<br />

having an echoing area of 10 m2 is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position. It<br />

is best to use the shortest possible range as long as the clarity and definition of the picture remain good.<br />

Maximum range<br />

The maximum detecting range of the radar, Rmax, varies considerably depending on several factors such<br />

as the height of the antenna above the waterline, the height of the target above the sea, the size, shape and<br />

material of the target, and atmospheric conditions.<br />

Range information is displayed on top left of the chart windows.<br />
