Also, to a lesser extent, you become visible to other shipping in a
way that a horn can't: precisely.



This is a point I've wondered about: it seems that vessels with active radar
appear on my radar with a large arc centered on the vessel's blip. I've assumed
this is an interaction between their radar and mine. Does this also mean that
my radar also enhances my picture on their screen?

This may also be due to having the gain/intensity, turned up too high
for the given range scale you are using. It can sometimes be countered
with the anti clutter controls, alone.
