iSAFETY INSTRUCTIONSWARNINGWARNING Radio Frequency Radiation HazardThe radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can beharmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from aclose distance while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmittingantenna at a close distance.Distances at which RF radiation levels of 100 and 10 W/m2 exist are given in the tablebelow.Note: If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house,your administration may require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antennarevolution. This is possible. Ask your FURUNO representative or dealer to providethis feature.FAR-2827/2127 RTR-079 MG5436 XN12AF 0.80 m 11.20 mFAR-2827/2127 RTR-079 MG5436 XN20AF 0.40 m 8.60 mFAR-2827/2127 RTR-079 MG5436 XN24AF 0.20 m 5.80 mFAR-2817/2117 RTR-078 MG40102 XN12AF 0.30 m 4.20 mFAR-2817/2117 RTR-078 MG40102XN20AF 0.10 m 3.00 mFAR-2817/2117 RTR-078 MG40102XN24AF -- 2.40 mDistance to100 W/m2pointDistance to10 W/m2pointModel TR unit Magnetron Antenna11 XN12AF: 4 ft XN20AF: 6.5 ft XN24AF: 8 ft2 Or MAF1425B

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ii WARNINGELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARDDo not open the equipment.Only qualified personnelshould work inside theequipment.Turn off the radar powerswitch before servicing the antenna unit. Post a warn-ing sign near the switchindicating it should not beturned on while the antennaunit is being serviced.Prevent the potential risk ofbeing struck by the rotatingantenna and exposure to RF radiation hazard.Wear a safety belt and hardhat when working on the antenna unit.Serious injury or death canresult if someone falls fromthe radar antenna mast.Do not disassemble or modify theequipment.Fire, electrical shock or serious injury canresult.Immediately turn off the power at theship's mains switchboard if waterleaks into the equipment or the equip-ment is emitting smoke or fire.Continued use can cause fatal damage tothe equipment.WARNINGUse the proper fuse.Use of a wrong fuse can result in damageto the equipment or cause fire.Keep heater away from equipment.Heat can alter equipment shape and meltthe power cord, which can cause fire orelectrical shock.Do not place liquid-filled containersnear the equipment.Fire or electrical shock can result if a liquidspills into the equipment.Do not operate the equipment with wethands.Electrical shock can result.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS iii WARNINGWARNINGNo one navigational aid should be relied upon for the safety of vessel and crew.The navigator has the responsibility tocheck all aids available to confirmposition. Electronic aids are nota substitute for basic navigationalprinciples and common sense.• This ARPA automatically tracks automatically or manually acquired radar targets and calculates their courses and speeds, indicating them by vectors. Since the data generated by the auto plotter are based on what radar targets are selected, the radar must always be optimally tuned for use with the auto plotter, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unwanted targets such as sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.• A target does not always mean a land- mass, reef, ships or other surface vessels but can imply returns from sea surface and clutter. As the level of clutter changes with environment, the operator should properly adjust the A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls to be sure target echoes are not eliminated from the radar screen. The battery in memory cards must beinserted plus (+) side up.Inserting the battery minus(-) side up maycause the battery to explode.CAUTIONCAUTIONThe plotting accuracy and response ofthis ARPA meets IMO standards.Tracking accuracy is affected by thefollowing:• Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is required to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.)• The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is on the order of 15—30 seconds for high relative speed; 30—60 seconds for low relative speed.The data generated by ARPA, AIS andvideo plotter are intended forreference only.Refer to official nautical charts for detailed and up-to-date information.Replace the battery in the memory cardwithin 10 minutes.Loss of data may result if the above timeis exceeded.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS iv WARNINGTo avoid electrical shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside.WARNING LABELWarning labels are attached to the equipment. Do not remove any label.If a label is missing or damaged,contact a FURUNO agent or dealerabout replacement.WARNINGRadiation hazard. Only qualified personnel should work inside scanner.Confirm that TX has stopped beforeopening scanner.DISPLAY UNIT, PROCESSOR UNITName: Warning Label (1)Type: 86-003-1011-0Code No.: 100-236-230ANTENNA UNITName: Radiation Warning LabelType: 03-142-3201-0Code No.: 100-266-890

1-11. RADAR OPERATION 1.1 Turning on the Power The [POWER] switch is located at the left corner of the control unit. Open the power switch cover and press the switch to turn on the radar system. To turn off the radar, press the switch again. The screen shows the bearing scale and digital timer approximately 15 seconds after power-on. The timer counts down three minutes of warm-up time. During this period the magnetron (transmitter tube) is warmed for transmission. When the timer has reached 0:00, the indication “ST-BY” appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is now ready to transmit pulses. In stand-by condition, markers, rings, map, charts, etc. are not shown. Further, ARPA is cancelled and the AIS display is erased. In warm-up and stand-by condition, you will see the message BRG SIG MISSING because the antenna is not rotating; azimuth signal is not being sent to the processor unit. ON TIME and TX TIME counts in hours and tenths of hour appear at the screen center. 1.2 Transmitter ON After the power is turned on and the magnetron has warmed up, ST-BY appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is ready to transmit radar pulses. You may transmit by pressing the [STBY/TX] key on the full keyboard or roll the trackball to choose the TX STBY box at the bottom left corner of the display and then pushing the left button (above the trackball). The left-hand side of the guidance box at the bottom right corner of the screen changes from TX to STBY. GuidanceboxSTBY/TXSTBYTX STBY box Radar display

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-2 The radar is initially set to previously used range and pulse length. Other settings such as brilliance levels, VRMs, EBLs and menu option selections are also set to previous settings. The [STBY/TX] key (or TX STBY box) toggles the radar between STBY and TRANSMIT status. The antenna stops in stand-by and rotates in transmit. The magnetron ages with time resulting in a reduction of output power. It is highly recommended that the radar be set to stand-by when not used for an extended period of time. Quick start Provided that the radar was once in use with the transmitter tube (magnetron) still warm, you can turn the radar into TRANSMIT condition without three minutes of warm-up. If the [POWER] switch has been turned off by mistake or the like and you wish to restart the radar promptly, turn on the [POWER] switch not later than 10 seconds after power-off.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-71.5 Operation Using the On-Screen Boxes All radar functions can be accessed by using the trackball alone. This is done by choosing the appropriate on-screen box with the trackball and operating the trackball module to choose item and option. (See paragraph 1.9 for location of all on-screen boxes.) On-screen boxes come in two varieties: Function selection and function selection w/pop-up menu. On-screen boxes of the latter type have “►” at the right side of their boxes, as in the MARK box shown below. To operate the radar using on-screen boxes, do the following: 1. Roll the trackball to place the trackball marker inside the box desired. Note: The trackball marker changes its configuration according to its location. It is an arrow when placed outside the effective display and a cursor (+) when inside the effective display. See the illustration on the next page for further details. For example, choose the MARK box, which is at the bottom left corner. MARK Mark type lastselected, marknumber> +162.5 T 11.7NMBearing and range from own ship to origin mark1 MARK box When a box is correctly selected, its color changes from green to yellow (default colors) and the guidance box at the bottom right corner shows operational guidance. The operational guidance shows the function of the left and right buttons, with a diagonal line separating the information. For the MARK box, for example, the operational guidance is “MARK SELECT / MARK MENU.” In this case you would push the left button to choose a mark or push the right button to open the MARK menu.

Forfurther details about the CURSOR menu, see paragraph 1.6.Trackball marker is out ofeffective display area(incl. text area) andnot selecting a box: The trackball marker isan arrow Guidance box reads"JUMP CURSOR / DISP MENU."Push the left button to choose the on-screenbox closest to the arrow or push the rightbutton to display the MAIN menu.To choose boxes successively, push the wheelwhen the guidance box reads as above.Then, the nearest box is selected and markedwith the double-ended arrow ( ) and theguidance box reads"JUMP FORWARD / JUMP BACKWARD." Hit the left button to go to the box below oradjacent to the currently selected box or hitthe right button to go to the box above oradjacent to the currently selected box.Continue pushing a button to choose boxessuccessively. This is convenient for operationunder heavy pitching and rolling. To cancel thisfeature, push the wheel when the guidance boxreads as above. 2. Push the left button (or roll the wheel depending on the box) until the desired option is displayed in the box. Note: When you chose an on-screen box’s option by rolling the wheel, the box and its contents turn red. This simply indicates that the chosen setting is different from the currently active setting. To change the setting, push the wheel or the left button. If neither the wheel nor the left button is pushed within about 30 seconds after operating the wheel, the previous setting is automatically restored.

Loss of gyrocompass signal When the compass signal is lost, “HEADING SET” appears in red at the gyro readout, the presentation mode automatically becomes head-up, all ARPA and AIS targets and map or chart are erased. After restoring the compass signal, choose the presentation mode with the [MODE] key or the PRESENTATION MODE box.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-191.12.2 Description of presentation modes Head-up mode The head-up mode is a display in which the line connecting own ship and the top of the display indicates own ship’s heading. The target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to own ship’s heading. A short line on the bearing scale is the north marker indicating heading sensor north. A failure of the heading sensor input will cause the north marker to disappear and the readout to show ***.*° and the message HDG SIG MISSING appears in red at the lower-right corner of the screen. Heading LineNorth MarkerNote: When display is off-centered,the heading mark appears at 000 degrees. Head-up mode Course-up mode The course-up mode is an azimuth stabilized display in which a line connecting the center with the top of the display indicates own ship’s intended course (namely, own ship’s previous heading just before this mode has been selected). Target pips are painted at their measured distances and in their directions relative to the intended course, which is maintained at the 0-degree position. The heading line moves in accordance with ship’s yawing and course change. This mode is useful to avoid smearing of picture during course change. Heading LineNorth Marker Course-up mode

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-20 Head-up TB (True Bearing) mode Radar echoes are shown in the same way as in the head-up mode. The difference from normal head-up presentation lies in the orientation of the bearing scale. The bearing scale is heading sensor stabilized. That is, it rotates in accordance with the heading sensor signal, enabling you to know own ship’s heading at a glance. This mode is available when the radar is interfaced with a gyro heading sensor. If the gyro heading sensor fails, the bearing scale returns to the state of head-up mode. North-up mode The north-up mode paints target pips at their measured distances and in their true (heading sensor) directions from own ship, north bearing maintained at the top of the screen. The heading line changes its direction according to the ship’s heading. Requires heading signal. If the compass fails, the presentation mode changes to head-up and the north marker disappears. Also, the HDG indication shows ***.*°. And the message HDG SIG MISSING appears in red at the lower-right corner of the screen. Heading LineNorth North-up mode

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-21True motion mode Own ship and other moving objects move in accordance with their true courses and speed. In ground stabilized TM, all fixed targets, such as landmasses, appear as stationary echoes. In the sea stabilized TM without set and drift inputs, the landmass can move on the screen. Note that true motion is not available on the 72 nm or 96 nm range scale. When own ship reaches a point corresponding to 75% of the radius of the display, own ship position is automatically reset to a point of 75% radius opposite to the extension of the heading line passing through the display center. You may also reset the own ship marker manually by pressing the [CU/TM RESET] key, or roll the trackball to choose the CU/TM RESET box at the bottom right corner of the display and then push the left button. If the heading sensor fails, the mode is changed to the head-up and the north marker disappears.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-271.16 Adjusting the Sensitivity The gain control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand excessive sensitivity yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display. To adjust receiver sensitivity, adjust the gain control so background noise is just visible on the screen. By keyboard While monitoring the gain level bar at the top of the screen, operate the [GAIN] control to adjust the sensitivity. By trackball 1.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-291.17.3 Manual adjustment of A/C SEA The A/C SEA control reduces the amplification of echoes at short ranges (where clutter is the greatest) and progressively increases amplification as the range increases, so amplification will be normal at those ranges where there is no sea clutter. The proper setting of the A/C SEA should be such that the clutter is broken up into small dots, and small targets become distinguishable. If the setting is set too low, targets will be hidden in the clutter, while if the setting is too high, both sea clutter and targets will disappear from the display. In most cases adjust the control until clutter has disappeared to leeward, but a little is still visible windward. A/C SEA adjusted;sea clutter suppressedSea clutter atscreen center By keyboard 1.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-30 1.18 Suppressing Rain Clutter The vertical beam width of the antenna is designed to see surface targets even when the ship is rolling. However, by this design the unit will also detect rain clutter (rain, snow, or hail) in the same manner as normal targets. The A/C RAIN control adjusts the receiver sensitivity as the A/C SEA control does but rather in a longer time period (longer range). The higher the setting the greater the anti-clutter effect. When echoes from precipitation mask solid targets, adjust the A/C RAIN control to split up these unwanted echoes into a speckled pattern, making recognition of solid targets easier.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-40 1.22 Collision Assessment by Offset EBL The origin of the EBL can be placed anywhere with the trackball to enable measurement of range and bearing between any targets. This function is also useful for assessment of the potential risk of collision. It is possible to read CPA (Closest Point of Approach) by using a VRM as shown below (Figure (a)). If the EBL passes through the sweep origin (own ship) as illustrated (Figure (b)), the target ship is on a collision course. 1.22.1 How to assess risk of collision by the offset EBL By keyboard 1. Press the [EBL ON] key to display or activate an EBL (No. 1 or No. 2). 2. Place the cursor (+) on a target appearing as threatening (A in the illustrated example on the next page) by operating the trackball. 3. Press the [EBL OFFSET] key, and the origin of the active EBL shifts to the cursor position. Press the [EBL OFFSET key] again to anchor the EBL origin. 4. After waiting for a few minutes (at least 3 minutes), operate the EBL rotary control until the EBL bisects the target at the new position (A'). The EBL readout shows the target ship's course, which may be true or relative depending on the EBL bearing reference setting. Note: If relative motion is selected, it is also possible to read CPA by using a VRM as shown in left-hand figure at the top of the next page. If the EBL passes through the sweep origin (own ship) as illustrated in the right-hand figure at the top of then next page, the target ship is on a collision course. 5.

CAUTION• The alarm should not be relied upon as the sole means for detecting possible collision situations.• A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and GAIN controls should be properly adjusted to be sure the alarm system does not overlook target echoes. The zone has a fixed width of 0.5 nm in the radial direction (depth) and is adjustable from 0.3 to 6.0 nm (guard zone 1) and any distance (guard zone 2). On the R-type radar the boundaries can be set at any distance. On any radar type the sector of the zone can be set from 0 to 360 degrees in any direction. 1.24.1 How to set a guard zone The procedure which follows shows how to set a guard zone using the figure below as an example. 1. Roll the trackball to choose the ALARM1 or ALARM2 box, whichever alarm you wish to set. ALARM 1 ALARM 2 ALARM boxes 2. Push the left button. The cursor jumps into the effective display area and “SET” appears inside the ALARM box chosen. 3. Roll the trackball to place the cursor on point “A” and then push the left button. 4. Roll the trackball to place the cursor on point “B” and then push the left button. “WORK” replaces “SET” in the ALARM box. The guard alarm zone’s lines are solid and blue so as to distinguish it from the ARPA guard zone. Guard zone

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-44 Note 1: If you wish to create a guard alarm zone having a 360-degree coverage around own ship, set point “B” in almost the same direction as point “A.” Note 2: Two alarm zones may be set. Note however that the 2nd guard alarm zone is available only when the 1st guard alarm zone is active. Note 3: When the guard zone is not within the range in use the indication UP RNG appears to the right of the ALARM box. In this case choose a range which will display the guard alarm zone. 1.24.2 Acknowledging the alarm A target in the guard zone produces both visual (flashing) and audible (beep) alarms. To silence the audible alarm, press the [ALARM ACK] key on the full keyboard or choose the ALARM box and then push the left button. The ALARM box shows “ALARMx ACK.” This will deactivate the audible alarm but will not stop the flashing of the offending target. To reactivate the audible alarm, press the [ALARM ACK] key again or choose the ALARM ACK box and then push the left button. (When an external buzzer is connected, the audible alarm does not stop until the alarm zone itself is deactivated.) The ALARM box shows “ALARMx WORK.” 1.24.3 Deactivating a guard zone 1. Roll the trackball to choose the ALARM1 or ALARM2 box, whichever alarm you wish to deactivate. 2. Push the left button until the alarm status in the ALARM box disappears. In the IMO type radar deactivation of the guard zone 1 deactivates guard zone 2. Guard zones 1 and 2 work independent on the R-type radar.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-48 1.27 Echo Averaging The echo average feature effectively suppresses sea clutter. Echoes received from stable targets such as ships appear on the screen at almost the same position every rotation of the antenna. On the other hand, unstable echoes such as sea clutter appear at random positions. To distinguish real target echoes from sea clutter, echoes are averaged over successive picture frames. If an echo is solid and stable, it is presented in its normal intensity. Sea clutter is averaged over successive scans resulting in reduced brilliance, making it easier to discriminate real targets from sea clutter. Echo averaging uses scan-to-scan signal correlation technique based on the true motion over the ground of each target. Thus, small stationary targets such as buoys will be shown while suppressing random echoes such as sea clutter. True echo average is not however effective for picking up small targets running at high speeds over the ground. Note 1: Do not use the echo average function under heavy pitching and rolling; loss of target detection can result. Note 2: Echo average can be used without a heading sensor. For further details see “4 EAV W/O GYRO” in paragraph 1.42. To properly use the echo average function, it is recommended to first suppress sea clutter with the A/C SEA control. Then, do as follows: 1. Roll the trackball to choose the PICTURE box at the left side of the display. 2. Push the right button to show the PICTURE menu. 3. Roll the wheel to choose 3 ECHO AVERAGE and then push the wheel or the left button. 4. Roll the wheel to choose OFF, 1, 2 or 3 as appropriate and then push the wheel or the left button.

1. RADAR OPERATION 1-62 1.33 Automatic Picture Setup According to Navigation Purpose Every time your navigating environment or task changes, you must adjust the radar, which can be a nuisance in a busy situation. Instead of changing radar settings case by case, it is possible to assign the function keys to provide optimum settings for often encountered situations. The radar's internal computer offers several picture setup options to be assigned to each function key for your specific navigating requirements. For instance, one of the functions is assigned the buoy detecting function and labeled SHIP on the on the PICTURE box. By choosing SHIP, the radar will be instantly set for optimum detection of ships. Four user-programmable setups are also provided, so that you may have the radar automatically adjusted to those conditions which are not covered by the provided setup options. Below are the preset picture setup options provided with this radar. Picture setup options description Label Description Label Description NEAR Optimum setting for short range detection using a range scale of 3 nm or less on calm seas FAR Optimum setting for long range detection using a range scale of 6 nm or larger NEAR BUOY Optimum setting for detecting navigation buoys, small vessels and other small surface objects at close range FAR BUOY Optimum setting for detecting navigation buoys, small vessels and other small surface objects at long range ROUGH SEA Optimum setting for rough weather or heavy rain SHIP Optimum setting for detecting vessels HARBOR Optimum setting for short range navigation in a harbor area using a range scale of 1.5 nm or less COAST For coastal navigation using a range of 12 nm or less Each picture setup option defines a combination of several radar settings for achieving optimum setup for a particular navigating situation. Those involved are interference rejector, echo stretch, echo average, noise rejector, automatic anti-sea and anti-rain clutters, video contrast, pulselength and sea and radar conditions. Adjusting these features from the PICTURE menu changes the original function key settings. To restore the original settings for a particular picture setup option, it is necessary to choose the default setting. For this reason, we recommended that you use the user-programmable function sets when frequent adjustment of the radar picture is necessary.

The radar screen will show several arcs, opposite to the heading marker (provided that the performance monitor is installed behind the radar antenna as is normally the case). If the radar transmitter and receiver are in good working conditions in as much as the original state when the monitor was turned up, the innermost are should appear at 12 nm and there should be a total of 4 arcs. The range of the innermost arc reduces 3 nm with every 3 dB loss of transmitted power. Meanwhile the receiver sensitivity can be evaluated from the number of visible arcs; one arc is lost every 3 dB deterioration of the sensitivity.

$2-12. RADAR OBSERVATION 2.1 General 2.1.1 Minimum and maximum ranges Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 nm, a target having an echoing area of 10 m2 is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position. It is mainly dependent on the pulselength, antenna height, and signal processing such as main bang suppression and digital quantization. It is a good practice to use a shorter range scale as far as it gives favorable definition or clarity of picture. The IMO Resolution MSC.64(67) Annex 4 (Shipborne radar) and A.820: 1995 (High Speed Craft Radar) require the minimum range to be less than 50 m and 35 m, respectively. This series of radars satisfy this requirement. Maximum range The maximum detecting range of the radar, Rmax, varies considerably depending on several factors such as the height of the antenna above the waterline, the height of the target above the sea, the size, shape and material of the target, and the atmospheric conditions. Under normal atmospheric conditions, the maximum range is equal to the radar horizon or a little shorter. The radar horizon is longer than the optical one by about 6% because of the diffraction property of the radar signal. The Rmax is given in the following equation. Rmax= 2.2 x ( h1 +h2 ) where Rmax: radar horizon (nautical miles) h1: antenna height (m) h2 : target height (m) Radar horizonOptical horizon For example, if the height of the antenna above the waterline is 9 meters and the height of the target is 16 meters, the maximum radar range is; Rmax= 2.2 x ( 9 + 16 ) = 2.2 x (3 + 4) = 15.4 nm It should be noted that the detection range is reduced by precipitation (which absorbs the radar signal).$

2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2-2 X-band and S-band In fair weather, the equation on the previous page does not give a significant difference between X- and S-band radars. However, in heavy precipitation condition, an S-band radar would have better detection than an X-band radar. Radar resolution There are two important factors in radar resolution (discrimination): bearing resolution and range resolution. Bearing resolution Bearing resolution is the ability of the radar to display as separate pips the echoes received from two targets which are at the same range and close together. It is proportional to the antenna length and reciprocally proportional to the wavelength. The length of the antenna radiator should be chosen for a bearing resolution better than 2.5° (IMO Resolution). This condition is normally satisfied with a radiator of 1.2 m (4 ft) or longer in the X-band. The S-band radar requires a radiator of about 12 feet (3.6 m) or longer. Range resolution Range resolution is the ability to display as separate pips the echoes received from two targets which are on the same bearing and close to each other. This is determined by pulselength only. Practically, a 0.08 microsecond pulse offers the discrimination better than 35 m as do so with all FURUNO radars. Test targets for determining the range and bearing resolution are radar reflectors having an echoing area of 10 m2. Bearing accuracy One of the most important features of the radar is how accurately the bearing of a target can be measured. The accuracy of bearing measurement basically depends on the narrowness of the radar beam. However, the bearing is usually taken relative to the ship’s heading, and thus, proper adjustment of the heading line at installation is an important factor in ensuring bearing accuracy. To minimize error when measuring the bearing of a target, put the target echo at the extreme position on the screen by selecting a suitable range. Range measurement Measurement of the range to a target is also a very important function of the radar. Generally, there are two means of measuring range: the fixed range rings and the variable range marker (VRM). The fixed range rings appear on the screen with a predetermined interval and provide a rough estimate of the range to a target. The variable range marker’s diameter is increased or decreased so that the marker touches the inner edge of the target, allowing the operator to obtain more accurate range measurements.

2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2-32.2 False Echoes Occasionally echo signals appear on the screen at positions where there is no target or disappear even if there are targets. They are, however, recognized if you understand the reason why they are displayed. Typical false echoes are shown below. Multiple echoes Multiple echoes occur when a transmitted pulse returns from a solid object like a large ship, bridge, or breakwater. A second, a third or more echoes may be observed on the display at double, triple or other multiples of the actual range of the target as shown below. Multiple reflection echoes can be reduced and often removed by decreasing the gain (sensitivity) or properly adjusting the A/C SEA control. Own shipTargetTr u eechoMultiple echo Multiple echoes Sidelobe echoes Every time the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam, called “sidelobes.” If a target exists where it can be detected by the side lobes as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be represented on both sides of the true echo at the same range. Side lobes show usually only on short ranges and from strong targets. They can be reduced through careful reduction of the gain or proper adjustment of the A/C SEA control. Target B(True)Target B(Spurious)Target A Sidelobe echoes

2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2-4 Virtual image A relatively large target close to your ship may be represented at two positions on the screen. One of them is the true echo directly reflected by the target and the other is a false echo which is caused by the mirror effect of a large object on or close to your ship as shown in the figure below. If your ship comes close to a large metal bridge, for example, such a false echo may temporarily be seen on the screen. Tr u eechoFalseechoOwn shipTarget shipMirror imageof target ship Virtual image Shadow sectors (see above right) Funnels, stacks, masts, or derricks in the path of the antenna block the radar beam.

2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2-52.3 SART (Search and Rescue Transponder) 2.3.1 SART description A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) may be triggered by any X-Band (3 cm) radar within a range of approximately 8 nm. Each radar pulse received causes it to transmit a response which is swept repetitively across the complete radar frequency band. When interrogated, it first sweeps rapidly (0.4 µs) through the band before beginning a relatively slow sweep (7.5 µs) through the band back to the starting frequency. This process is repeated for a total of twelve complete cycles. At some point in each sweep, the SART frequency will match that of the interrogating radar and be within the pass band of the radar receiver. If the SART is within range, the frequency match during each of the 12 slow sweeps will produce a response on the radar display, thus a line of 12 dots equally spaced by about 0.64 nautical miles will be shown. When the radar to the SART is reduced to about 1 nm, the radar display my show also the 12 responses generated during the fast sweeps. These additional dot responses, which also are equally spaced by 0.64 nautical miles, will be interspersed with the original line of 12 dots. They will appear slightly weaker and smaller than the original dots. 9500 MHz9200 MHzRadar antennabeamwidthScreen A: When SART is distant Screen B: When SART is close Lines of 12 dots are displayed in concentric arcs.Echo from SARTPosition ofSARTOwn shipposition Own shippositionSART marklengthRadar receiverbandwidthSweep time7.5 µs 95 µs Sweep startHigh speed sweep signalLow speed sweep signal24 NM 1.5 NMPosition ofSARTEcho fromSART SART

This feature automatically detunes the radar receiver out of its best tuning condition. This erases or weakens all normal radar echoes, but the SART marks are not erased because the SART response signal scans over all frequencies in the 9 GHz band. When the radar approaches the SART in operation, the SART marks will enlarge to large arcs, blurring a large part of the screen. To set up for SART detection do the following: 1.

Push the right button twice to close the menu. Be sure to turn off the SART feature when SART detection is no longer your objective.

2. RADAR OBSERVATION 2-72.3.3 General remarks on receiving SART SART range errors When responses from only the 12 low frequency sweeps are visible (when the SART is at a range greater than about 1 nm), the position at which the first dot is displayed may be as mush as 0.64 nm beyond the true position of the SART. When the range closes so that the fast sweep responses are seen also, the first of these will be no more than 150 meters beyond the true position. Radar bandwidth This is normally matched to the radar pulselength and is usually switched with the range scale and the associated pulselength. Narrow bandwidths of 3-5 MHz are used with long pulses on long range scales and wide bandwidths of 10-25 MHz with short pulses on short ranges. A radar bandwidth of less than 5 MHz will attenuate the SART signal slightly, so it is preferable to use a medium bandwidth to ensure optimum detection of the SART. Radar side lobes As the SART is approached, side lobes from the radar antenna may show the SART responses as a series of arcs or concentric rings. These can be removed by the use of the anti-clutter sea control although it may be operationally useful to observe the side lobes as they may be easier to detect in clutter conditions and also they will confirm that the SART is near to own ship.

There are several signal formats; in general, the RACON signal appears on the radar screen as a rectangular echo originating at a point just beyond the position of the radar beacon. It has a Morse coded pattern. Note that the position on the radar display is not accurate. RACON RACON

3-13. ARPA OPERATION 3.1 Usage Precautions • The plotting accuracy and response of this ARPA meets IMO standards. Tracking accuracy is affected by the following: • Tracking accuracy is affected by course change. One to two minutes is needed to restore vectors to full accuracy after an abrupt course change. (The actual amount depends on gyrocompass specifications.) • The amount of tracking delay is inversely proportional to the relative speed of the target. Delay is on the order of 15-30 seconds for high relative speed; 30-60 seconds for low relative speed. • The data generated by this ARPA are intended for reference only. Refer to official nautical charts for detailed and up-to-date information. • A target measuring 800 m or more in the radial or circumferential direction is regarded as a landmass and not acquired or tracked. Echoes smaller than 800 m are regarded as targets to be tracked.

The speed can be STW, BT, SOG or echo-referenced speed (based on 3 max. stationary objects). Manual input is also possible. For automatic or manual input, see paragraph 1.13. For echo-referenced speed input follow the procedure below. 3.4.1 Echo-referenced speed input The use of echo-referenced speed is recommended when: • The speed log is not operating properly or not connected to the radar. • The vessel has no device which can measure ship's leeward movement (Doppler sonar, speed log, etc.) when leeward movement can not be disregarded. If you select echo-referenced speed, the ARPA calculates own ship's speed relative to a fixed reference target. The number of targets may be 1, 2 or 3. They appear as tracked targets, each shown in a small circle. When a plural of objects are selected, the mean value is used for stabilization and speed. Note that this feature is not available when the AIS is active. 1. With the cursor inside the effective display area, roll the wheel to display “REF MARK / EXIT” in the guidance box. 2. Select a small fixed island or any radar prominent point located at 0.2 to 24 nm from own ship. 3. Roll the trackball to place the cursor (+) on the target selected at step 2.

The reference target mark (see below) appears at the cursor position and the own ship position data label changes from “LOG,” “NAV” or “MANUAL” to “REF.” Note that it takes 60 scans or approximately 1 min before a new speed is displayed. If tracking has failed for a reference target, the target is marked with a lost target mark (symbol formed with two triangles). changes to in 60 seconds. R1 R1 Reference target 5. Repeat steps 2-4 to continue entering reference marks. Three may be entered. Notes on speed input by reference target • When the reference target is lost or goes out of the acquisition range, the reference target mark blinks and the speed reads “**.*.” Select a different reference target in this case. • When all targets are deleted, the reference target mark is also deleted and the target-based speed becomes invalid. The speed is indicated as KTBT where BT means Bottom Track (speed over ground). • Reference targets may be marked with a vector. This can be done with 3 REF TARGET VECTOR on the ARPA TARGET menu. Canceling echo-referenced speed input Open the SPD menu, referring to paragraph 1.13, and set 1 SHIP SPEED to LOG, NAV or MANUAL as appropriate.

Note 2: When the capacity for manual acquisition is reached, the message “TARGET-FULL(MAN)” is displayed at the screen bottom. Cancel tracking of non-threatening targets if you wish to acquire additional targets manually. CAUTIONTarget SwapWhen a target being tracked nears anothertarget being tracked, the targets may be"swapped". When two targets acquiredeither automatically or manually come closeto each other, one of the two may becomea Lost Target. Should this happen, manualre-acquisition of the Lost Target may berequired after the two have separated.

ARPA OPERATION 3-12 3.8 Displaying Target Data The ARPA mode provides the full functionality of ARPA as required by the IMO Resolution A.823(19) and IEC 60972-1, including display of range, bearing, course, speed, CPA and TCPA of all plotted targets. In head-up and head-up true bearing modes, target bearing, course and speed shown in the upper-right target data field become true (suffix “T”) or relative (suffix “R”) to own ship in accordance with the true/relative vector setting. In north-up, course-up and true motion modes, the target data field always displays true bearing, true course and speed over the ground. 3.8.1 Displaying individual target data By keyboard Roll the trackball to place the cursor on a desired ARPA target and press the [TARGET DATA] key. By trackball 1. With cursor inside the effective display area, roll the wheel to show “TARGET DATA & ACQ / CURSOR MENU” in the guidance box. 2. Roll the trackball to place the cursor on a desired ARPA target and then push the left button. 3. To erase a target’s data from the data box, choose the target on the radar display and then push the left button. Target data display is as below. RNG/BRG: Range and bearing from own ship to the selected target with suffix “T” (True) or “R” (Relative). CSE/SPD: Course and speed are displayed for the selected target with suffix “T” (True) or “R” (relative). CPA/TCPA: CPA(Closest Point of Approach) is the closest range a target will approach to own ship. TCPA is the time to CPA. Both CPA and TCPA are automatically calculated. When the CPA has passed clear of own ship, it is indicated by a TCPA with a negative (-) sign. TCPA is counted to 99.9 min and beyond this, it is indicate as TCPA> -99.9MIN. BCR/BCT: BCR is the closest range at which the chosen target is predicted to cross your ship’s bow. BCR is the time at which the chosen target is predicted to cross your ship’s bow.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-16 3.9 Vector Modes Target vectors can be displayed relative to own ship's heading (Relative) or north (True). 3.9.1 Description of vectors Ground stabilization and sea stabilization Target vectors can be ground stabilized or sea stabilized. Sea stabilization is a mode where own ship and all targets are referenced to the sea using gyro heading and single axis log water speed inputs in the True Motion mode. Ground stabilization is a mode where own ship and all targets are referenced to the ground using the ground track or set and drift inputs. If the accuracy seems unsatisfactory, enter the set and drift correction. True vector In the true motion mode, all fixed targets such as land, navigational marks and ships at anchor remain stationary on the radar screen with vector length zero. But in the presence of wind and/or current, vectors appear on fixed targets representing the reciprocal of set and drift affecting own ship unless set and drift values are properly entered. Target oncollisioncourse Own shipBuoy Own shipTarget oncollisioncourse BuoyTrue vectors inhead-up modeRelative vectors inhead-up mode True and relative vectors Relative vector Relative vectors on targets which are not moving over the ground such as land, navigational marks and ships at anchor will represent the reciprocal of own ship’s ground track. A target of which vector extension passes through own ship is on the collision course. (Dotted lines in the figure are for explanation only.)

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-173.9.2 Vector motion and length Vectors may be displayed in true or relative motion. Vector time (or the length of vectors) can be set to 30 seconds, 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 15 or 30 minutes. By keyboard 1. Press the [VECTOR MODE] key consecutively to choose relative or true vector mode. Your selection is shown on the Vector motion box. (Note that this also selects the vector mode for the past position display.) 2. Press the [VECTOR TIME] key consecutively to choose vector time. Your selection appears in the vector length box (see illustration below). By trackball 1. Roll the trackball to choose VECTOR TRUE or VECTOR REL (whichever is displayed) at the right side of the screen. VECTOR TRUE 15MINVector motionVectorlength ARPA VECTOR boxes 2. Push the left button to display VECTOR TRUE or VECTOR REL as appropriate. (Note that this also selects the vector mode for the past position display.) 3. Roll the trackball to choose the vector length box. 4. Push the left button to display time desired. The vector tip shows an estimated position of the target after the selected vector time elapses. It can be valuable to extend the vector length to evaluate the risk of collision with any target.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-18 3.10 Past Position Display The ARPA displays equally time-spaced dots marking the past positions of any targets being tracked. A new dot is added every minute (or at other preset time intervals) until the preset number is reached. If a target changes its speed, the spacing will be uneven. If it changes the course, its plotted course will not be a straight line.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-213.12 Setting CPA/TCPA Alarm Ranges The ARPA continuously monitors the predicted range at the Closest Point of Approach (CPA) and predicted time to CPA (TCPA) of each tracked target to own ship. When the predicted CPA of any target becomes smaller than a preset CPA alarm range and its predicted TCPA less than a preset TCPA alarm limit, the ARPA releases an audible alarm and displays the warning label COLLISION on the screen. In addition, the ARPA symbol changes to a triangle and flashes together with its vector. Provided that this feature is used correctly, it will help prevent the risk of collision by alerting you to threatening targets. It is important that GAIN, A/C SEA, A/C RAIN and other radar controls are properly adjusted. CPA/TCPA alarm ranges must be set up properly taking into consideration the size, tonnage, speed, turning performance and other characteristics of own ship. CAUTIONCPA/TCPA AlarmThe CPA and TCPA alarm feature shouldnever be relied upon as the sole means fordetecting the risk of collision.The navigatoris not relieved of the responsibility to keepvisual lookout for avoiding collisions,whether or not the radar or other plottingaid is in use. 3.12.1 Setting CPA/TCPA alarm ranges To set the CPA/TCPA alarm ranges, do the following: 1. Roll the trackball to choose the CPA LIMIT box. If only “CPA LIMIT OFF” appears press the left button to show the CPA and TCPA boxes.

The warning label COLLISION and the flashing of the triangle plotting symbol and vector remain on the screen until the dangerous situation is gone or you intentionally terminate tracking of the target.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-233.13 Setting a Guard Zone When a target transits the operator-set guard zone, the buzzer sounds and the indication GUARD appears (in red) at the screen bottom. The target causing the warning is clearly indicated with an inverted flashing triangle. 3.13.1 Activating the guard zone One or two guard zones may be selected. The No. 1 guard zone is available between 3 and 6 nm and No. 2 guard zone can be set anywhere when the No. 1 zone is already in use. The ARPA/AIS guard zone’s lines are blue and dashed so as to distinguish them from the radar guard alarm. The procedure below shows how to set a guard zone, using the example at the bottom of the page. 1. Roll the trackball to choose one of the GZ (GUARD ZONE) boxes at the right side of the screen. GZ 1 GZ 2 Guard zone statusBlank: GZ offSET: Set guard zoneWORK: Guard zone activeSLEEP: Guard zone "asleep" GZ boxes 2. Push the left button. The GZ box now reads “GZx SET.” 3. Roll the trackball to place the cursor on point A and then push the left button. 4. Roll the trackball to place the cursor on point B and then push the left button. The GZ box now reads “GZx WORK.” AB0.5 nmTarget in guard zone ismarked by invertedflashing triangle. Guard zone If you are setting a polygon guard zone with GZ2, set at least three points. Press the right button to finish. Note that the status indication should be WORK or SLEEP to set GZ2.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-24 When an ARPA or AIS target violates the guard zone, the message “GUARD” appears (in red) at the right side of the display and the offending target is marked with an inverted triangle. Note 1: If you wish to create a guard zone having a 360-degree coverage around own ship, set point B in almost the same direction (approx. ±3°) as point A and then push the left button. Note 2: If the range scale is changed to less than half of the guard zone, the GZ box reads “GZx OUT.” If the left button is pushed in this state, the guard alarm zone goes into “sleep” state and the guidance box reads “GZ WORK L = DELETE.” Note 3: The default guard zone is fan shaped. It may also be a polygon having 3-10 points. For details, see paragraph 3.13.5. Note 4: Two more alarm zones (No. 1 and No. 2 Guard Alarm Zones) may be added in addition. This means a maximum 4 alarm zones are available at a time. ARPA symbols are not changed to inverted triangles in the guard alarm zone, only those in guard zone do so. 3.13.2 Sleeping, deactivating a guard zone 1. Roll the trackball to choose the appropriate GZ box. 2. Sleep or deactivate the guard zone as appropriate: Sleep guard zone: Push the left button momentarily to remove the guard zone from the screen. The indication in the GZ box changes from “GZx WORK” to “GZx SLEEP.” To reactivate and display the guard zone, repeat this procedure to display “GZx WORK.” Deactivate guard zone: Push and hold down the left button until the GZ box goes blank. 3.13.3 Acknowledging the guard zone alarm To acknowledge and silence the guard zone audible alarm, press the [ALARM ACK] key, or choose the ALARM ACK box and then push the left button.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-26 3.14 Operational Warnings There are six main situations which cause the ARPA to trigger visual and audible alarms: • CPA/TCPA alarm • Guard zone alarm • Lost target alarm • Target full alarm for manual acquisition • Target full alarm for automatic acquisition • System failure CPA/TCPA alarm Visual and audible alarms are generated a target falls with a preset limits. To acknowledge the CPA/TCPA audible alarm, press the [ALARM ACK] key, or choose the ALARM ACK box and then push the left button. Guard zone alarm Visual and audible alarms are generated when a target transits the operator-set guard zone. To acknowledge and silence the guard alarm, press the [ALARM ACK] key, or choose the ALARM ACK box and then push the left button. Lost target alarm When the system detects a loss of a tracked target, the target symbol becomes a flashing diamond ( ) and the label “LOST” appears at the screen bottom. At the same time, an audible alarm is produced for one second. To acknowledge and silence the lost target audible alarm, press the [ALARM ACK] key, or choose the ALARM ACK box and then push the left button. Then, the lost target mark disappears. Target full alarm When the memory becomes full, the memory full status is indicated and the relevant indication appears on the screen and a short beep sounds. Manually acquired targets The indication “TARGET-FULL(MAN)” appears at the screen bottom and a short beep tone sounds when the capacity for manually acquired targets, as set on the menu, is reached.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-27Automatically acquired targets The indication “TARGET-FULL(AUTO)” appears at the screen bottom and a short beep sounds when the capacity for automatically acquired targets, as set on the menu, is reached. System failure alarm When the SPU Board receives no signal input from the radar or external equipment, the screen shows both “ARPA SYSTEM ERROR” associated with an indication denoting offending equipment, also releasing an audible alarm. The missing signals are denoted as shown below. Missing Signal Indication * Speed log signal LOG * Heading signal, Gyrocompass GYRO Trigger signal from radar TRIGGER Video from radar VIDEO * Bearing signal from radar antenna AZIMUTH * Heading pulses from radar antenna HEADLINE * The alarm is available with or without ARPA.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-28 3.15 Trial Maneuver The trial maneuver feature simulates the effect on all tracked targets against own ship's maneuver without interrupting the updating of target information. 3.15.1 Types of trial maneuvers There are two types of trial maneuvers: static and dynamic. Dynamic trial maneuver A dynamic trial maneuver displays predicted positions of the tracked targets and own ship. You enter own ship's intended speed and course with a certain “delay time.” Assuming that all tracked targets maintain their present speeds and courses, the targets' and own ship's future movements are simulated in one-second increments indicating their predicted positions in one-minute intervals as illustrated below. The delay time represents the time lag from the present time to the time when own ship will actually start to change her speed and/or course. You should therefore take into consideration own ship's maneuvering characteristics such as rudder delay, turning delay and acceleration delay. This is particularly important on large vessels. How much the delay is set the situation starts immediately and ends in a minute. In the example shown below, own ship will advance straight ahead (even after a maneuver) for a delay time of 5 minutes and then alters speed and course until operator-specified intended speed and course are achieved (position OS7 in this example).

If you enter the same trial speed, course and delay time under the same situation as in the aforementioned example of dynamic trial maneuver, the screen will instantly show position OS7 for own ship, position A7 for target A and position B7 for target B, omitting the intermediate positions. Thus, the static trial maneuver will be convenient when you wish to know the maneuver result immediately. Note: For accurate simulation of ship movements in a trial maneuver, own ship's characteristics such as acceleration and turning performance should be properly set in initial settings during the installation. 3.15.2 Performing a trial maneuver To perform a trial maneuver, do the following: 1. Roll the trackball to choose the MENU box at the right side of the screen and then push the left button. 2. Roll the wheel to choose 4 ARPA•AIS and then push the wheel or the left button.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-34 3.17 Criteria for Selecting Targets for Tracking The FURUNO ARPA video processor detects targets in midst of noise and discriminates radar echoes on the basis of their size. Target whose echo measurements are greater than those of the largest ship in range or tangential extent are usually land and are displayed only as normal radar video. All smaller ship-sized echoes which are less than this dimension are further analyzed and regarded as ships and displayed as small circles superimposed over the video echo. When a target is first displayed, it is shown as having zero true speed but develops a course vector as more information is collected. In accordance with the International Marine Organization Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (IMO ARPA) requirements, an indication of the motion trend should be available within 20 scans of antenna and full vector accuracy within 60 scans. The FURUNO ARPAs comply with these requirements. Acquisition and tracking A target which is hit by five consecutive radar pulses is detected as a radar echo. Manual acquisition is done by designating a detected echo with the trackball. Automatic acquisition is done in the acquisition areas when a target is detected 5-7 times continuously depending upon the congestion. Tracking is achieved when the target is clearly distinguishable on the display for 5 out of 10 consecutive scans whether acquired automatically or manually. Required tracking facilities are available within 0.1-32 nm on range scales including 3, 6, 12 nm, full plotting information is available within one scan when the range scale has been changed. Targets not detected in five consecutive scans become “lost targets.” Quantization The entire picture is converted to a digital from called “Quantified Video.” A sweep range is divided into small segments and each range element is “1” if there is radar echo return above a threshold level, or “0” if there is no return. The digital radar signal is then analyzed by a ship-sized echo discriminator. As the antenna scans, if there are five consecutive radar pulses with 1’s indicating an echo presence at the exact same range, a target “start” is initiated. Since receiver noise is random, it is not three-bang correlated, and it is filtered out and not classified as an echo. The same is true of radar interference. Electronic circuits track both the closet and most distant edges of the echo. At the end of the scanning of the echo, the discriminator indicates the measured maximum range extent and total angular extent subtended by the echo. If the echo is larger than a ship-sized echo in range extent and/or angular width, adjusted as a function of range, it is declared to be a coastline and the closet edge is put into memory as a map of the area.

3. ARPA OPERATION 3-35This land outline is used to inhibit further acquisition and tracking of ship-sized echoes beyond the closest coast outline. Five consecutive scans of coastal outline are retained in memory to allow for signal variation. All smaller echoes are declared to be ship sized and the middle of the leading edge is used to provide precise range and bearing coordinates of each echo on every scan. This range/bearing data is matched to previous data and analyzed from scan-to-scan for consistency. When it is determined to be as consistent as a real target, automatic acquisition occurs and tracking is initiated. Continued tracking and subsequent calculation develop the relative course and speed of the target. The true course and speed of own ship are computed from own ship's gyro and speed inputs, and the resulting course and speed of each tracked target is easily computed by vector summing of the relative motion with own ship’s course and speed. The resulting true or relative vector is displayed for each of the tracked targets. This process is updated continually for each target on every scan of the radar. Qualitative description of tracking error The FURUNO ARPA accuracy complies with or exceed IMO standards. Own ship maneuvers For slow turns there is no effect. For very high turning rates (greater than 150°/minute, depending on gyro), there is some influence on all tracked targets which last for a minute or two and then all tracked targets revert to full accuracy. Other ship maneuvers Target ship courses, lag 15 to 30 seconds at high relative speed, or 3 to 6 seconds at low (near 0) relative speed. It is less accurate during a turn due to lag, but accuracy recovers quickly.

$3. ARPA OPERATION 3-36 3.18 Factors Affecting ARPA Functions Sea returns If the radar anti-clutter control is adjusted properly, there is no serious effect because distant wave clutter, not eliminated by this control, is filtered out by more than one bang correlation and scan-to-scan matching of data. Rain and snow Clutter can be acquired and tracked as targets. Adjust the A/C RAIN control. If it is heavy rain, switch to S-band if provided, or switch on the interference rejector on the radar. If heavy clutter still exists, switch to manual acquisition. Accuracy can be affected. Low clouds Usually no effect. If necessary, adjust the A/C RAIN control. Non-synchronous emissions No effect. Low gain Insufficient or low radar receiver gain will result in some targets not being acquired at long distance. ARPA display will be missing on one or more targets that could only be visible if the radar sensitivity control (GAIN control) were increased. The setting of the correct radar receiver gain is not critical but the target should be on the radar PPI and be clearly visible and well defined. Manual acquisition is done if a target is positively displayed more than once. Automatic acquisition is done when the target is detected 5-7 times continuously. Tracking is achieved when the target is detected five times (not necessarily continuously) out of 10 scans. If not detected six times out of 10 scans, the target will become a “lost target.” The ARPA will acquire a radar echo that is present once in every six antenna scans and continue tracking if 1 in 10. Second trace echoes When the radar beam is super refracted, strong echoes may be received at such long ranges that they appear on a different timebase sweep than the transmitted pulse. This gives an incorrect range indication. Second and third trace echoes can be tracked if they are consistent enough to meet acquisition and tracking criteria but target course and speed data will be in error.$
