Definition
Wave returns are strongest close to the vessel and fall away rapidly with range, so this control applies suppression that is heaviest at short range and tapers off with distance. It must be adjusted only far enough that clutter breaks up into a speckled pattern with occasional returns still visible; winding it up until the screen centre is clean will delete small craft, buoys and liferafts. Set it upwind, where clutter is worst.
