There's supposed to be a voice cue for active sonar. Not sure why it isn't hooked up.

The bearing is TMA goodness, isn't it? Now I'm out of my depth
at how active intercept vs speed works but I would imagine you could hear the "ping" when you cannot hear the engine noise. I'm pretty sure I've often seen the telltale yellow line when the contact has faded away..
