* The maximum range depends on your scanner type, as detailed in the Pathfinder Plus Radar
Scanner Owner’s Handbook .
The number of range rings shown in the table is the number to the selected
range. Additional range rings are displayed to the edge of the radar picture, at
the standard ring interval for the current range, and are visible when the centre
is offset.
Determining Actual Radar Range
The actual maximum radar range is essentially line-of-sight, and is limited by
the height of the scanner and the height of the target as shown in
Figure 3-1 .
Table 3-2 lists some range examples:
