I set the AOB to port 70 degrees, because I was on the targets port side and 70 is 90 minus the offset in the scope (20) and then I clicked the send to TDC button twice.
Speed was already set, but again I clicked on the send to TDC button twice anyway.

Then I fired when the target was passing 200 on my scope.

The fish then went and did a u-turn and headed for a point in front of my sub.


So what went wrong?

It is hard to say without see the geometry drawn out, but I can think of a few possibilities.

1. The track angle was not the 90 degrees that you wanted.
2. The order you input the info into the TDC caused problems

Usually, I would send speed, Aob, range, and bearing in that order. Always input bearing last, because it is the most critical. I'm not sure what results I would get doing speed last as you describe.



To be honest, I agree with Bubblehead. The PK was a substantial advantage, and I don't know why so many are eager to throw it away.
