Figure 6: 160 nm range selected showing normal ground returns over
flat terrain with Denver and the background mountains displayed as
strong symmetrical ground returns at 130 nautical miles. The aircraft is at
20,000 feet MSL. When the beam shows a symmetrical image about the
ground return center line, either the returns are from a very solid object
such as the ground or a very intense low level close in storm.

Note: The image will be symmetrical in ground map mode and slightly
truncated at the bottom side of the return in Wx Mode.
