I couldn't speak for the 200 model to be honest with you. The model I
got is the ATD-300. I watched it closely for a while and it was very
hard to understand what it was tracking. The NM half would show
anywhere between 5 to 0 and the altitude would jump around a lot.


Can you define "a lot"? The range problem is something I would expect.
But the altitude (if there is only one target anywhere near) should be
accurate. Having said that, both your altitude and that of the threat
aircraft can be jumping around by at least 100 feet (for a minimum
"jitter" of a couple of hundred feet).

So... Are you only seeing it "jump around a lot" +/- maybe 300 feet? Or is
the altitude readout REALLY varying massively?
