rjacobs has a little shameless behaviour in the past

one other thing that seems to work really well, but is not used frequently is using the variable gain function. You have to PULL THE KNOB OUT to get it into variable, you cant simply dial it down while it is pushed in. As soon as it gets pushed in it goes to auto-gain which is usually high. Pull the knob out when it is dialed to high and then go back 3 tick marks, about 2 oclock or so. This will cut out a ton of the clutter that is painted with this aweful radar and makes it some what useful. I fly with a lot of guys who swear at the radar and say how much of a piece of **** it is, however when I suggest doing this, they just write it off as useless. Then I show them what I am painting vs. what they are painting and they can actually see the difference.
