Is there a way to manually enter data into the notepad? I have a heck of a time getting proper speed estimates using the notepad stopwatch. Meanwhile, since I've been shadowing the target for awhile I have a pretty good idea what his speed is, I just can't get the notepad to agree.

I know that the TDC has a manual mode. Is it possible to use manual TDC together with the notepad? Do people just say to heck with it and just use the TDC?

If the TDC is used in manual mode does it remain slaved to the periscope?

If speed is manually entered in the TDC and the notepad entry for speed remains blank, does the TDC data get used? (Apparently not since I tried this and the gyro angle was consistent with speed of 0).

Thanks all.
