I have found if you stop the beam right on the contact and then line the PPI up so the buttom of the station is horizontal, you can then take a pice of paper and line it up with the peak and read the more correct range from the scale. Now click on the A-scope and line that one up. Take transparent bearing tool and read the bearing off it. With out touching anything press the keyshortcut for navigationsmap - the radar operator now says the bearing to the contact so you can check that with the one you read your self.

Now plot it.
Many thanks for the tip

Unfortunately it is a poor substitute for proper range circles
