3D TDC and Radar Range Unit

Not quite sure I understand, I have never seen a range readout on the scope itself unless there is a mod for it. You can set the radar to four separate range modes with the 3D TDC mod and the range readout is on the left.

The ranges underneath the range mode selector switch on mine reads (Prec...3,000...20,000...40,000yds.)

Hi again Donna,
I think I have sorted it. Before the 3D mod there were scales underneath the green traces on the ppi radar. I now realise that these have been replaced by the numerical dials to the left. Incase you haven't seen it here is a link to a training page by John Channing about using 3d radar.
Thanks for all your help,Bruce

Also Richard, those range scales on the A-Scope, were in metric, so if you played using Imperial Measurements, the A_scope would be off unless you compensate for it yourself.

Hi Hylander, Yes I remember now, I thought my install of TMO 2.2 was faulty as they weren't there anymore, But now I realise they are not reqd. Thanks, Bruce
