Default CRJ 200 Radar - Insights?

Hello,

Does anyone know if the beam width on the CRJ 200 Radar is the same as with other radars where you can apply the 1degree/1NM rule?

If so, why is it that at +1.0 or +0.7 at 80NM range you can get ground clutter? Isn't that supposed to be 8000 feet up or down at 1.0 TILT?

Would anybody happen to have the TWR-850 user manaul?

Also, do you guys know how the GCS work? Does it look for radar shadows only and if the return does not have a shadow it'll treat it as ground reflectors?

Thanks!
