Target Steering in Interference Areas
In areas of passive and/or active interference, it may be advisable to physically elevate the receiver
above the ground. In the example below, the receiver is placed 3 ft (or 1 m) above the ground. To
compensate, the target depth value will be set to 8'6" (2.6 m).
