■ Indirect echoes Indirect echoes may be returned from either a passing ship, or returned from a re fl ecting surface, such as a mast on your own ship. An indirect echo from a re fl ecting surface will appear on a different bearing from the direct (true) echo, but the distance will be approximately the same for both. Indirect echo T rue echo T [...]

8 BASIC RADAR THEOR Y 22 ■ Multiple echoes Multiple echoes may appear when a short-range and strong echo is received from a ship, bridge, or break- water . Multiple echoes will appear beyond the target ’ s true echo point on the same bearing of a large target. They can be reduced with proper adjustment of the [SEA]/[ ] control. See p. 10 for th[...]

8 BASIC RADAR THEOR Y 23 ■ Blind and Shadow sectors Blind or Shadow sectors may exist because of ob- structions such as masts, derricks or stacks. An ob- struction may throw either a complete or partial shadow as shown in the diagram below . If a target is in a shadow sector , target echoes may not appear on the screen. When tall and massive targ[...]

■ Connecting the units NMEA1 connection NMEA2 connection ■ Power source requirement D DC power source The radar is designed for connection to any power source if the voltage is 10.2 – 42 V DC, so that a 12, 24, or 32 V DC battery can be used without a DC-DC con- verter , or any internal modi fi cations. • DC power cable connection Connect [...]
