I find it annoying too - especially when you're trying to take a bearing/range for a target around that point. You basically have to guess on the bearing.
Another semi-related radar Q:
When you are in focus mode on the PPI, and you fix on a target to get range, I find that the range on the A-scope reaches maximum when the radar sweep arm is slightly off center of the target. In fact, often if you place the radar arm dead-center on the contact blip, the A-scope does not have a reading. Anybody know about this? If I maximize the height of the contact on the A-scope (e.g., position the radar sweep arm slightly off-center such that it maximizes the A-scope return), then am I getting the real bearing, or is it off by a few degrees because of an interface bug?
