...Quick question or example---Lets say you find a target and lock the scope on to target. You then input the range, AOB, and Speed into the PK and turn it on. You then unlock the peri from target....Now: will the PK just continue to track the target based on the data inputted while the peri is now unlocked?...

Sort of. It doesn't actually track the target. But if your settings were correct, it will stay with the target.

...Also, If you re-lock the peri onto the target at a later time--is the PK affected or updated at all, or do you then update it maually?

Unlocking the periscope and locking it again doesn't update the bearing, but turning the PK off and on will update the bearing if your periscope is locked on it.

Bearing can also be input with sonar, either asking for it from the AI which can be very inaccurate, or listening yourself and sending it with the 3d switch. Doing it yourself, you can move the bearing around depending where your hydrophone is pointed.
