Yeah ... Their values all balance out the fumo29. Changing the SweepPeriod to 1 (it didn't like 0) only gave the sensor 5x more attempts per minute to detect an object ... which made it better .

Looking at the arc coverage, I can see why they set it to 40 instead of 60 ... Looking at the antenna setup of the 29, the dipoles are set far apart with 10 degrees for each, probably causing holes between the lobes ... compared to the fumo30 and 61 it was condensed into a smaller antenna where the lobes can overlap each other.

Should be left alone ... yeah.

Good news though ... setting MinSensorHeight to 0 does eliminate the radar switching off until depth's about 8-9 m ... good news for those that hate rough seas with low visibily.
