manually each time you change the range.
Gain and Sea Clutter appearance settings are available in Auto1, Auto 2 and Harbor modes.
These can be accessed by pressing the Gain or Sea Clutter buttons while in Auto1, Auto 2 or Harbor
mode with Gain or Sea Clutter set to Auto.
The default appearance setting is 25 for both Gain and Sea Clutter for all ranges.
The appearance settings can be adjusted between 0 and 50. This represents a +/- 25 step offset away
from the nominal Auto mode setting. The value set will be applied only to the current range.
