Good day all,
Just a few questions to the WX Radar guru's out there....The B737NG wx radar seems to be ultra sensitive to any or even the very slightest bit of precip. Even adjusting the gain from max down to min on even the smallest of showers seems to make no effect on the picture...I have never encounterd this before as wx radars I have used before [ in both bands], adjusting the gain say two divisions [ maybe 6 or so decibels] had a marked effect on the presentation.
The routes that I fly are not high in moisture content nor can I recall the model number...I think it's a standard fit for the NG.
Any thoughts as to desensitize it apart from adjusting the tilt????
Thanks
