4-76 Map Subsystem
The “Stabilization” LSK is an on/off toggle of the radar’s gyro
stabilization.
When Radar is “On”, the controllable parameters are:
Range – Use the bottom right outer knob to control the
displayed range scale.
Tilt – Use the bottom right inner knob to control the tilt angle
and direction of the radar antenna: U for up via right turns, D
for down via left turns with the amount of antenna tilt in 0.25°
increments, using decimal notation.
Azimuth – Push the bottom right knob to toggle between Tilt
and Azimuth control and then turn that knob to adjust the
azimuth or bearing line. The azimuth/bearing line is
controlled in increments of 1° and the relative bearing is
displayed in degrees relative to aircraft heading (if known)
where left has a “-“ indicator in front of the relative azimuth. It
will also control the radar’s “yaw” or lateral position of the
dish, when in vertical profile mode.
