My new boat has a TZT2 and the NXT radar. I'm having some issues with the radar and wondering if anyone has any suggestions. The radar refuses to pick up small targets. I basically use it for collision avoidance at night. I can't get it to pick up channel cans or 6 knot marker buoys. It will occasionally fail to pick up day markers also.
I usually run it on the auto gain and clutter settings and have tried changing the main bag filter from 0 to 100 with no change. I have tried with the resboost from off to 3 and no change. I have been able to play with the gain and have it pick up small objects with the gain at 100% but never on auto gain or with the target analyzer on. Also when its at 100% gain it does not black out the screen with returns. It picks up objects at distances very well and anything with a radar reflector is picked up well.
I'm pretty experienced with radar and had no problems picking up cans and small buoys with my 4G radar, Garmin 18 and even a Navnet 2. Any suggestions? Thanks
