So, when the radar is in RWS, the hash marks at the top of the display are a scale of degrees azimuth based on what your azimuth sweep is set to.

 

 

But, what if you are in STT? What does each hash mark then represent? I ask because if I am in RWS mode, and I have a contact, then I can see what his angle off (antenna train angle) is from the scale because I know what my azimuth is set to. But in STT there really isn't an azimuth, since it is locked on to the target, so how can you tell what angle off is?

The azimuth angle hash mark units are constant and don't change with azimuth scan limits or in STT. The range scale is the only setting that is dynamic in STT.

The display always represents the full AZ, 140 degrees. Setting your AZ means the scan only happens in 'part of the display'. The manual should explain this.

So each hash mark is 35 degrees? To the left is the first 35 degrees then the next has to the left is another 35 which makes a total of 70 to the left. Add 70 to the right and you get a total of 140 degrees? How many degrees betweem the 2nd hash tag and the edge of the MFD? 10 degrees?

 

 

 

Chuck's guide says each hash mark is 20 degrees. I couldn't find anything in the Early Access Manual that says what the scale is.

Well spotted.

 

I assume each hash mark is 30 degrees (2x 30° = 60°) with another 10° to the edge of the DDI giving +/- 70° either side of the centre line = a total azimuth sweep of 140°
