I thought the white button that turns red when you click it on the PK would constantly send bearing updates to the TDC?

No! That button activates or deactivates the "Position Keeper", and when activated, what it does is exactly the opposite! The position keeper makes the TDC independent from your inputs until you purposely send new data to the TDC. What the position keeper does is start a "simulation" of how the target behaves according to what you had input in the moment of activating it. For example: You set a target to be a 3000 yards, bearing 45 (Stadimeter+Scope), course 270 (Angle on the Bow setting), speed 8 (Speed setting) and then hit the PK button: Now the TDC will display in the attack map the white "X" you see in the image above, which represents how a target that would fit those inputs would evolve. If you had made wrong inputs, it's the difference between that "projected" course the TDC displays and what you actually see what allows you to correct it. And you correct it by taking new bearings, AOBs, speeds, etc. and sending them again to the TDC.
Hope that clarifies it a bit
