Lo Gain Mode Menu Item
To place the SPIDER-650 in Lo Gain Mode, the user enters an ‘l’ at the terminal’s keyboard in
the main menu. The Lo Gain Mode allows the user to desensitize the receiver for environments
where the output transmit power is more than adequate for object detection. In this mode, the
user will see a message similar to the one at the bottom of Figure 13. The user will remain in LO
Gain Mode until HI Gain mode is entered (see next section).

Hi Gain Mode Menu Item
To place the SPIDER-650 in Hi Gain Mode, the user enters an ‘h’ at the terminal’s keyboard in
the main menu. The Hi Gain Mode allows the user to use the full capability of the receiver for
environments where the targets have a limited radar cross section. In this mode, the user will see
a message similar to the one at the bottom of Figure 14. The user will remain in HI Gain Mode
until LO Gain mode is entered (see previous section).
