some actually change the
emitter angle to give better returns at these ranges.

can you give us a Model Number of a Marine Radar that does the above?

nope I only know that they were Sperry's and i had to go up to the
dome to make sure the adjustment arms where working when i couldn't
find a deck hand. My first and second mates being scared ****less of
heading into the rigging (academy boys). when we un moth balled the
ship in spring the sounds of my yelling for the mate to change the
ranges could be heard in Greenland.
I am no radar tech however Sperry kindly gave us several procedure
sheets (about the size of the LA phone book) to guide us through. the
same systems we had up north where in place on all the ships i was on
for that company but i didn't have to mess with most of them. I do
recall that we had to import the techs directly from Sperry.

i was trying to look up the info you wanted but cant get onto the
Sperry web site; it seems it wont load.

Well No wonder, it was a Sperry Radar.... These pieces of JUNK haven't
been around the beach for a decade or so. Kind of like the Kelvin Hughes,
Radars, and the Decca's of the early 70's. Fair radars, for being Second
Generation, but not really relevant in todays world of 5th Generation
Marine Radars.
