• Some targets, such as buoys and small boats, can be difficult
to discern, because they do not present a consistent reflecting

these echoes tend to fade and brighten, and at times disappear

Note: A GPS receiver and a fast heading sensor are required
for MARPA operation, and to maximize radar/chart overlay
performance.
