Does anybody uae this radar 'trick'

"A major concern going into BOG was the developing TRW in the evening. Much later on the 767, flying with XXXXXXX Airlines crews who lived in South America flying, I learned about the radar ‘trick’ they used. This was to put the radar on max gain, set the range to 40 miles, and tilt to 8-10 degrees down. By doing this, you picked up the “shadow” of a dry TRW in development. Earlier, I found out the hard way, during a descent through a haze layer, that there was a developing TRW ahead of us."
