2.10 Measuring the Range 1.5NM 0.5 You can measure the range to a target three ways: by the range rings, by the cursor, and by the VRM (Variable Range Marker). Target By range rings Press the [RINGS] key to display the range rings. Count the number of rings between the center of the display and the target. VRM Check the range ring interval (at the top left corner) and judge the distance of the echo from the inner edge of the nearest ring. VRM EBL +
