Is there a way to tune our small boat radars to help see birds? I have a JRC

No, you don't have NEAR enough power......

The bird-seeing radars are running MEGAWATTS, not kilowatts.... Many
military radars can cook a seagull, in flight, if stationary pointed
in its direction....They are VERY dangerous to be around.....
