[Rhodes22-list] Radar FAQs

[Bob Weber]

Mark, thanks for the oppertunity to learn.  From reading the article it is 
my understanding that the Base / Composite Reflectivity are on opposite ends 
of the radar return attenuation.  Kinda like the knob on your binacullars.  
On one setting you see the close up things best on the oppisite setting you 
see the outer limits of the lenses'.  Probably overly simplistic but "simple 
is as simple does".  Bob Weber
