Okay another thing I found with the range selector on the TDC. Especially at ranges between 1000 and 2000 meters......it is terribly inaccurate. I tested it with auto TDC and map contacts on. When you lock up a target and measure the range and then look at the TDC the adjustable knob setting does not match what the measured range is. Four instance when the range is reported at 1400 merers the knob selector looks like it’s at around 1800 meters.

So it seems the best way to enter a range when you are doing manual TDC is to type in the number down below in the XO window

Maybe I’m making a mistake. I’ll test it more.

( I only test these things because I care!)
