bonesvf103 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 I was following calls from the E-2 and had the datalink on. I never saw the contact on the TID. I kept flying toward his bra calls. Eventually I picked the contact up 120 miles away, but still no datalink contact. A minute or so later the datalink contact appeared well after I had him on my own Radar. Why is that? I had the datalink on and tuned the whole time and didn’t change anything on it. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

TLTeo Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Are you sure your datalink was in the right mode? You can only have fighter to fighter (Link 4C), or fighter to awacs/surface (Link 4A) link on, but not both at the same time.

If I had it in 4c, I don’t think the datalink contact would not have shown up at all like it eventually did. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.
