STC Curve
Influence from the ocean surface reflection
depends on the installation height of
antenna.Please proceed with the following
sequence, when STC curve is modified.
Setup: 1 to 8 (Initial value: 4)
Note: Set the STC curve after the gain
setting. When setting the STC curve,
go out of the harbor and perform at
the location where the reflection
from sea surface is displayed on the
radar screen.
1
Set the [GAIN/PPI] knob to 8, the [STC/FTC]
knob to 0.
Adjust so that the noise-like sea surface
reflected echo is displayed at the center of
the image as shown below.
2 Press the [- RANGE +] key to select the
range that can display the entire sea surface
reflected echo can be displayed.
3
Adjust the [STC/FTC] knob and stop it just
before the sea surface reflected echo
completely disappears (In the state that the
sea surface reflected echo is sparsely
displayed.) As shown in [Proper] below,
when the sea surface reflected echo from
near to far distance disappears evenly, the
STC curve set value is proper. As shown in
[Large], when the sea surface reflected echo
at near distance disappear first, or in [Small],
when the sea surface reflected echo at far
distance disappears first, it is necessary to
change the setting in the procedure
described in the following items.
4
Press the [MENU] key.
5
Move to the system menu.
Refer to 3.1 Display of System Menu.

When the sea surface reflected echo at near
distance disappears first, decrease the
value.
When the sea surface reflected echo at far
distance disappears first, increase the value.

Adjust the [STC/FTC] knob again.
Adjust so that the sea surface reflected echo
from near to far distance disappears evenly
as shown in the illustration [Correct] in step
