No matter what it's referenced to, it does'nt paint a very accurate picture until one is within 40 nm or so.....which is a bit late for formulating a plan to deviate.
So, as an aside to the first question, does anyone have any experiences, or info, as to whether the surface of the radome has any particular effect on the picture one sees on the ND.
My suspicions are that: Too shiny or glossily - painted radomes must reflect the signal that is returned to the radar from the weather, further attenuating such signals.
Maybe they should be painted black again......but the marketeers would never go for it!!
