Question regarding F14 radar

[nighthawk2174]

Concerning the F14 is it accurate that it can't go from RWS to an STT lock? Every other US jet can do this. From my understanding RWS should provide the requisite amount of info (range, azimuth, and can quickly grab elevation).

You need to adjust the elevation using the vernier control while at half action to find the target when making the swap to STT. The return is only maintained two seconds, so you have to manually adjust the elevation if you don't peg it as soon as the return hits the DDD.

If you are in RWS and get a target on the TID you will also se the dot in the DDD. I just STT-lock the target from there if you see a contact in RWS.

As others have pointed out: You can. You just can't do that on the TID (which is an SA display, not a radar display). You have to do that on your actual radar display which is the DDD.
