Make sure you have 3 grams (screens) available for the active buoy. Set other grams to channel 00 and/or switch other buoys off of directional mode to make room.

is there a difference between the prt and stb arrays?

Yes, the starboard array is a TB-29; the port, TB-16. The -29 is more sensitive, the -16 can operate at higher speeds

I see that there is still a spike on the display. However I cannot assign a tracker to it for some reason and I don't know why.

Trackers in narrowband are assigned to frequencies at a heading; don't try to assign it to a heading.

Finally, what is a way to use the TMA when it gets cluttered with a lot of contact lines?

Normally. What would be hard would be trying to use TMA when you don't have any contact lines. Okay, okay, right click anywhere in the working area and you'll be able to select the time interval that controls how much data is being displayed.
