My, that's helpful. Like asking for 2+2 and being told it's not 45.6.

What's going on? If I drag the guy by the ear and turn the hydrophones manually to the contact he finally figures it out. It's like the hydrophones are "stuck" or not turned on.

What's up?

I see this from time to time. First try a normal sweep. If that doesn't wake him up then I do exactly what you did.

Seems to be post 1.03.

I just chalk it up to the fact that you can't always get geniuses at what the military pays!
