Relative bearing is the target's bearing in relationship to you, no matter what direction you're heading. If the lookout says the target is at 301, then using the UZO to look at him will show a bearing of...301!

I understand the rest of the procedure well enough to know what it means, but I'm afraid any explanation I can give beyond what I've already done will only make you more confused. Someone with the knowledge to do it right will be along presently.
