RE: Radar/Plotter Bearing Mode
Thanks Chuck. We use the VRM/EBL to crosscheck bearing and range of radar targets against cursor position on the chart plotter. The plotter is set up with a data box to give us cursor range and bearing. When we had a heading indicator we were able to have a similar data box on the radar screen showing cursor range and bearing. In both cases bearing was degrees M making for a simple cross-check. We don't have a heading indicator now and are unable to get any cursor position information. I was curious as to why. Since we are operating the radar in head up mode I would think the system has all the information needed to display cursor range and relative bearing. Having cursor information as well as the single VRM/EBL is useful at times. I think you've answered my question - the software is simply not set up to do this.
Thanks again
Ian
