Base ref shows a specific elevation on the wsr-88DP. Composite shows all the elevation scans together. I think composite you are use to shows something different. So when I’m looking for tornadoes for example. I look at 0.5 deg because tornadoes happen in the lowest levels of the atmosphere. Base ref. You can select the elevation you want to look at and look at it alone. Composite is compiling multiple elevations together which is pretty much useless for detailed analysis because the resolution is lower. I have access to a 1 mega watt radar and the resolution on it will show objects. 50x100 yards. The wsr-88d shows objects close to 1x1miles. Without smoothing it’s difficult to see stuff.
I am baffled how this weather radar was approved. It’s appalling, used it going into Madrid the other day. Doesn’t display weather unless you’re very near half the time. I much prefer the original one in the Airbus, raw data and allows me to decide what is actual weather.
Given the technical expertise at Honeywell I can't get over how poor the audio is.

Can we expect any video for Pilot Training of the RDR-4000 Radar on the Embraer 190/195 E2 aircrafts ?
