1.22 Echo Stretch
The echo stretch feature enlarges targets in the range and bearing directions to make them easier
to see, and is available on any range. There are three levels of echo stretch as shown in the table
below.
The echo stretch magnifies not only small target pips but also returns (clutter) from
sea surface, rain and radar interference. For this reason, make sure those types of
interference have been sufficiently suppressed before activating the echo stretch.
