Just curious... Don't the marine radars have blanking, an adjustable
point where the radar emits no signal - so a mast wont reflect directly
back into the mast-mounted antenna? Or have masking, where the receiver
ignores returns that are too close - like from the mast or rigging?


no...... in fact, not too many shorebased sets do either although some will
have a setup where the actual picture is blanked out.

My Ray SL70 appears to have blanking set at 25 yards, though I can't
find it in the specs. I'll be talking to a tech soon and I'll ask him
about that.
