The anti-clutter sea control is often referred to as STC (Sensitivity Time Control) which decreases the amplification of the receiver immediately after a radar pulse is transmitted, and progressively increases the sensitivity as the range increases. A common mistake is to over adjust the A/C SEA control so that the surface clutter is completely removed. By rotating the control fully clockwise, you see how dangerous this can be; a dark zone is created near the center of the screen and close-in targets can be lost. This dark zone is even more dangerous if the gain has not been properly adjusted. Always leave a little surface clutter visible on the screen. If no surface clutter is observed (on very calm water), set the control at the fully counterclockwise position. 3, record 3, English, - anti%2Dclutter%20sea%20control
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Turn clockwise to increase sea anti-clutter (STC, Sensitivity Time Control) effect, and counter-clockwise to decrease sea anti-clutter effect. 5, record 3, English, - anti%2Dclutter%20sea%20control
