TRACKING TUTORIAL
D-8
If the tracking receiver provides an analog signal level:
Adjust the input level at peak to approximately 8 Volts. With maximum
output of 10V, 8 reserves more dynamic range for a weaker signal.
Select and set Set 0 dB point.
Insert a 3 dB attenuator in the RF path into the back of the beacon receiver.
Select and set -3 dB point.
Press [PRIOR] to back out of the menu and save the changes.
If a 3 dB attenuator is unavailable, there are two other methods that may be
used to drop the signal to 3 dB:
Move the antenna in EL by half the 3 dB beamwidth.
On the General Dynamics Model TRC-14 or TRK-14 Receivers, use the level
adjust to drop output voltage 1.5 V (this is close to a 3 dB drop).
33. To begin tracking the target configured above, from the Main menu, select
Tracking functions... and Track a target....
34. Select the target to be tracked from the target selection screen. If the Confirm
tracking option in the User interface options... is enabled, verify that the
information displayed in the confirmation prompt is correct, and answer yes.
The system will begin tracking the target.
