You second that, but you're the one that doesn't understand how weather radar works. That checks out.

What I'm learning is that no one who has replied knows the answer to my question... :P

I've got 1500hrs of experience on the EMJ, so I am familiar with basic radar usage. Just write me off as a nerd and help out if you can.

From my experiences riding on Mesa airplanes maybe they should be providing their pilots a course on how to use the radar lol

If you think some clouds are hiding something behind it, you turn the gain up a notch. If there's a lot of fluff around and you want to see what's really there to be concerned about, then you turn the gain down a notch.

Didn't you get fired from here for groping flight attendants and following them back to their rooms? That's what's actually funny.

Call Collins. Or bombardier. I don't think anyone knows what specific model this is. I'm surprised your radar study material guru guy doesn't know what model it is.
