The analysis of two factors influencing radar-meteor echo durations leads to the conclusion, that (1) the echo duration depends considerably on the train position with respect to the sensitivity contours of the radar; (2) the mean echo duration changes with respect to the radiant motion of a meteor shower. As a consequence of the factors mentioned above, the magnitude function, or the mass distribution function depends significantly on the observational conditions, as well as on the choice of the range and time intervals of the investigated sample.
