With respect the above references to four minute updates are incorrect.
There is an error in the manual and an official 'errata' document can be found in the manual folder or on the cd.
Quote:
The following text is misleading: ''As long as a tracker is tracking, bearing information is sent to
the TMA in two-minute intervals.''
Change to: Once a contact is marked and a tracker is assigned, bearing information is sent to TMA.
The first returns are time-averaged so the second line of bearing does not appear on the TMA Plot until four
minutes after the contact is designated. Thereafter bearing information is sent to TMA in TWO-MINUTE
intervals as long as a tracker is assigned and the contact is still detected.
