lucky-hendrix Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Hi all I recently started learning the Viggen, and still have a lot to learn. I am having a few issues with radar. I don't understand why the radar elevation is not an axis ? You can slew it up or down but you have no indication of the actual elevation ? If it is centered or not. Shouldn't it possible to be assigned to an axis ? Also the A2 mode (B-SCOPE ?) seems interesting, because I find it allows to zoom in on a far away radar feature. However I don't quite understand what it is showing, it looks like it is zooming in on region on the aircraft center line. Is it possible to slew it ? Changing radar range does not really affect it also ? Thank you Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk
TLTeo Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I agree that it's odd that the elevation wouldn't be displayed explicitly, but at the same time looking at the radar scope shows quite clearly whether you need to change antenna elevation or not. If the elevation is wrong the radar image will either be at very low resolution or completely missing. Regarding B-scope, it does indeed show (more or less) a zoomed in region on the center line. It can not be slewed. I find it most useful in ground avoidance mode.
