4.8.6.3 Adjusting the Antenna Tilt Angle
In order to make an accurate interpretation of a storm cell, the radar beam
should be pointed at the wet part of the weather cell to record the proper rainfall
intensity (color level). The ideal aiming point is just below the freezing level of
the storm. The best way to find this point is to use the Vertical Scan feature. The
antenna tilt angle can be centered on the strongest return area in the vertical
scan to get a more accurate view of the coverage and intensity of the target in
the horizontal scan.
Adjusting Antenna Tilt on the Horizontal Scan Display
1) While viewing the Weather Radar page of the Wx page group, press the
HORIZON soft key.
2) Press the MFD knob. With the Tilt value highlighted in the Control window,
turn the small MFD knob to adjust the Tilt and the press ENT.
