Right.
By experiementing with the Gain control you could eliminate most of the heavy returns and the last one left was the one to avoid as it may be a CB rather than a towering Cu.
By experimenting i.e reducing the gain, you may find yourself in the middle of the 5hit very easy.
If you were "experimenting" i.e. moving your radar beam up and down, as necessary, using Tilt, you would be in a much better situation.
