So just installed an DRS4D NXT running with TZT14. On the Chesapeake and while running the Choptank last week it seemed a bit inconsistent. It would mark some moving boats with the ARPA circle and others it would not (for the most part it was picking them up with returns though), Target Analyzer mode is on. I have a few questions:
1) When should the unit automatically mark targets?
2) It picked up lots of targets but then barely showed a return on a 30' low wooden crab boat and then barely showed a return on a large old wooden sloop, both were with 3/4 mile.
3) Radar is mounted flat and unobstructed but boat runs at about 4-5 deg angle, should I install a 4 deg wedge (see pic)? I noticed while running it was marking buoys basically straight ahead fine but a 40' boat on plane and coming from about the forward starboard quarter it was just barely picking up?
4) Are there certain settings I should be adjusting?
5) Is their a full manual for operation of the NXT somewhere?
Thanks
