Target number
[River] and [Sea] (Non-IEC system): An acquired target gets the youngest unused
number. When a target is lost and disappears from the number list, the next acquired
target takes the number of that lost target (ie: In a five-target list, if the target 2 is lost,
the next acquired target takes the number of target 2).
[IEC] and [Russian-River] (IEC system): An acquired target gets the youngest un-
used number. When a target is lost and disappears from the number list, the next ac-
quired target takes the next sequential number until reaching a maximum 10. If the
target number reaches a maximum 10, the next acquired target takes the number of
a previously lost target.
