Simrad NX40/45 Installation and Operation Manual72
18-6 Adjusting the quality of the radar
window
Common problems that can degrade the quality of the
radar window include:
sea clutter
rain clutter
false echoes (sometimes called ghost echoes) and
background noise
side lobe patterns (false echoes that appear as an
arc or a broken arc)
shadows (blind spots)
multiple echoes off the same object
incorrect threshold setting
If the radar is installed at a suitable height and in a
suitable location on your boat, side lobe patterns and
shadows (blind spots) caused by obstructions such as
funnels or masts will be minimized. If you’re having
problems with these, you may need to relocate the radar.
Consult the Installation Guide for your Simrad radar or
talk to your dealer or installer.
Multiple echoes off the same object are most likely
to occur when you are close to a large target and are
usually only a temporary nuisance.
You can adjust the radar to reduce the effects of sea
clutter, rain clutter, and interference from other radars.
You can also change the gain mode setting and the gain
level setting to help reduce false echoes.
