No, you read it wrong. I'm assuming you mean the part where he says 'Now to enter the range and then start the Position Keeper'.

John's tutorial does say to enter range and bearing, AOB, speed, range and bearing again and AOB again and then turn on the PK.

What you need to do is to put in the Range and Bearing, AOB (course of 338), Speed, turn on the PK and then, enter the range and bearing again and the correct the course to 338.
If you don't turn on the PK before the second entry then all the relative motion of yourself and the target won't be taken into account and the solution will be off by quite a way if you don't correct it. The situation is made worse if you are travelling at high speed (heading directly towars the target) or you are changing course before the PK is truend on, as the relative bearing won't be right and the range won't be right and the. Giving it the second update ensures that it's more or less bang on.

After I went thru the XTR5 TDC Training mission dozens of times doing it per JCC's tutorial and consistently missing astern. After changing my procedure(per Nisgeis suggestion) to range and bearing, AOB, speed, turn on PK, range and bearing,AOB I had consistent hits. I believe anyone following that tutorial to the letter will consistently miss.
