_Hoss Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 Depending on the A-7E or A-6E we get, the RWR display did not have alphanumeric or diamonds, squares... It was strobes, Solid lines for SAMs, ______________ Dash lines for AAA ..............., dashed lines for A/A missiles ___ ___ ___ and then airborne gun RADAR was solid and dots.. __ . __ . __ But like most planes on here, they will give you an old plane with the latest Avionics suite in it. And they did upgrade to the newer Alphanumeric symbols in the old A-7E. I made the last West Coast cruise on the Enterprise with VA-94 with A-7Es in 1988. 4 Sempre Fortis

The A-6 which used in its various guises the AN/APS-107A/B (scope), AN/APR-25 and ALR-45 (not the more advanced 'F' version) displayed dots and dashes on the scope. The AN/ALR-45F and ALR-67 used alphanumeric characters and symbols.
