Sucks is right. It is often confused, and alarms incesently.

Also ... it does not reduce the training requirements to use radar,

need to know whats happening under the covers to interpret what the
display means.

that's why the USCG instituted the Radar Observer Endorsement on Masters
and Mates Licenses, years ago. To many vessel drivers didn't understand
the technology that they were using, and couldn't interpret the displays
information properly.
