Been using multi scan radars for the past 7 years and I think they're the best, I always try to remember that after all it is a conventional radar with some un-conventional features, so what I do is consatntly change between Auto/Man mode and change tilt, range and gain settings to try and get a clear image in my head of the Wx up ahead.
Have also found that most of the weather shown on the 80nm range usually disappears once you get 20nm or closer, so I have come to the conclussion that anything shown on 20nm or closer while on Auto mode is real so be careful!, Of course move the antenna around as you would on any other radar because if the Wx at 20nm is real it may already be a little too late, specially if you're pushing along at M,78 or above.
