1.11 How to Reduce the Rain Clutter
The reflections from the rain or snow appear on the screen. These reflections have the
name "rain clutter". When the rain clutter is strong, targets in the rain clutter are hidden
in the clutter. Reflections from the rain clutter are easily identified from true targets by
their wool-like appearance.
The A/C RAIN control, like the A/C SEA control, adjusts the receiver sensitivity, but in
longer range. If the setting is high, the rain clutter is more reduced. The rain control
breaks the continuous display of rain or snow reflections into a random pattern. When
the rain clutter hides the targets, adjust the rain control (automatic or manual) to re-
duce the clutter.
