Rudel_chw Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Hello, I've searched for the answer, but I still can't understand what is the difference between putting the Radar on SILent mode, or placing it on STand-BY ? I've tested them and, it seems to me, that the only difference is that SIL keeps the azimuth & bar scanning working, while Stand-by stops them. Is there any other difference?

Tiger-II Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Great question. Motorola 68000 | 1 Mb | Debug port "When performing a forced landing, fly the aircraft as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover. The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts. "An average aircraft with a skilled pilot, will out-perform the superior aircraft with an average pilot."
Nopileus Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 STBY keeps the radar turned on but reduces emissions to the point at which you don't sterilize your ground crew and get sued into oblivion. SIL completely cuts all radar emissions but continues scanning the dish, use this when you don't want to be detected on RWR. Either option will stop providing a radar picture.
shaHeen-1 Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Stby is probably for radar altitude amirite?

OK, that makes sense .. however, I find it strange that neither the Startup Checklist, nor the After Landing one, state that the Radar should be placed on STBY when on the Ground. If I cold start the JF-17, and power the radar myself, it starts with both STBY and SIL not activated, so the JF-17 does not appear to have a Weight-on-Wheels lock to prevent use of the radar on the ground. But, if I Start Hot on Ramp, then both STBY and SIL are activated (boxed) .. so, I'm somewhat puzzled with this :( Hopefully, one of DEKA's people can provide his input on this, as I'm using all this radar info for editing a training mission about the Radar, and I'd like for it to be as accurate as possible.
