A quick question about the jester menu and ecm

[PSYKOnz]

Hi guys I’ve been looking for clarification on this, I’ve looked everywhere on the forums but all I could find was this...

And this dose not answer my question.

 

My question is, while using the jester menu how do i know what mode the ecm is in, how do I set it properly and how can I tell what mode it’s in (without jumping to the rio seat)

As far as I know the F14 ECM suite consists of your jammer, rwr, and electronic chaff/flare dispensers. As far as a mode, well your RWR can filter different signals. Your jammer from what i've seen only has an on or off mode though. Also here is a website to help with the equipment: http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-detail-ecmfairings.htm

 

If you're talking about dispenser modes, there is auto and manual, Jester can control them. I've not dug too deep into the programs though. The center of the Jester wheel will tell you what program you have set under countermeasures. The countermeasure jester menu will allow you to set them up.

That’s awesome thank you! Especially for the link

 

I’m looking for a bit more clarification in regards knowing when the ecm jammer is on or not

 

There doesn’t seem to be a “jammer on” notification in the centre of the wheel. So with out going to the rio seat how do I tell if it’s on,

 

eg...

 

Is it on when the text says “set jammer standby” or is it on when it reads “set jammer xmit”? As far as I can tell this is the only notification you get as to the ecm status in the drivers seat

 

Also, what does each mode do, is sandby mode off but turns on when needed or is that xmit? Or does xmit mean it’s always jamming?

If it says set xmit, Jester turns it on etc, it's the opposite of the reading.

 

Xmit mean it's on and it is currently jamming and interfering incoming radio signals. Beware that it also lights up on radars that are propably not scanning you.
