this is actually providing a collision zone of only 2 meters either side of the GPS antenna If the GPS antenna is mounted on the port side of the vessel and you specified a Safe Width of 4 meters you

Multiple echoes D16384 Arc True echo Side echoes D16423Indirect Echoes Blind SectorsThere are several types of indirect echoes or ghost images These Obstructions such as funnels and masts near the radar have the appearance of true echoes but in general they may obstruct the radar beam and cause radar shadows or blindare intermittent and poorly defined sectors If the obstruction is relatively narrow there will be a reduction of the beam intensity though not necessarily a complete cutoff However for wider obstructions there may be a total loss of False echo True echo True echo signal in the shadow area There may also be multiple echoes which extend behind the obstruction Blind sector effects can normally be minimized by careful selection of the scanner site prior to installation Sea Clutter Radar returns from waves around the vessel can clutter the centre of the radar picture making it difficult to detect real targets Such sea clutter usually appears as multiple echoes on the display at Passing Mast short range scales and the echoes are not repetitive or consistent ship or funnel False echo D16414 in position With high winds and extreme conditions echoes from sea clutter
