detailed documentation for targeting pod MFD page

[lwalter]

Where can I find such a detailed documentation?

For example, I couldn't find anywhere in the Razbam pocket guide, Chuck's guide or even search on Google, what all these "laser modes" are. Besides LASER, MARKER. TRNL, what are M+D, Eyes, etc...? What are all the MFD buttons functions for the TPOD?

 

(Note that there are YouTube videos explaining these details... but I'd rather have some real manual if possible.)

Yes, the documentary is very poor. Without Chuck's guide we would be completely lost... But it's also kind of self-enlightening: LASER means the TGP pod shoots a laser at a point you choose. This allows you to direct Laser Guided Bombs or the Laser Mav, GBU-54 to a selected target. MARKER means that you mark a goal for others via the TGP. And TRNL simply means training. Please check youtube, here you will also be helped.

Check the Q4 , and December post in the Razbam section.  ELMO provided some explanation and procedures.  I don't have the links handy but they shouldn't be to hard to find.

thanks @SGT Coyle ! Indeed, I found this sentence regarding the laser modes:

> [*]The Laser modes have been increased to 5: TRNL (training), MRKR (Marker), LASER (Laser designator), D+M (Designator and Marker) and EYES (A low power Laser designator used to prevent damage to the eyes of the troops on the ground).
