Need Some Jammer Assistance

[JSF_Aggie]

I have never been able to get the ASPJ to jam.  I'm flying the current open beta, but this has been an issue for me since the feature was introduced.  

I was hoping someone could tell me what step I'm missing.  My ECM switch is set to X-MIT.  The OSB label  at T1 on my EW page says "ASPJ XMIT", but I have never seen "JAMMER ON" on my AA Radar page, regardless of what threat is engaging me.

I've attached a track of just myself, an E-2, and a SU-27.  The SU is about 80 miles out, co-altitude.  We merge until the SU nails me with a R-27ER.  I'm ignorant as to how jamming is modeled within DCS, but I assume the SU-27 radar freq is within the range of the Hornet's jammer.   

Appreciate your time.

As name suggests - Airborne Self Protect Jammer - it isn't jamming when you turn it on, bu when somone locks on you. Put it on XMT and then some radar station hast to have STT on you for jammer to kick in.

Sounds like your doing everything right. But you wont see "Jammer On" until someone actually locks or tries to lock you up!

Agreed guys. In the track above the Su locks me up and hits me with a R-27ER.

I expected the jammer to turn on once the Su locked me up.

I had been switching the ECM switch to "XMIT" via Capt Zeen's Helios Profile.  I noticed the physical switch in the cockpit wasn't moving when I moved it via Helios.  

If I use the cockpit switch, it works.

No issues here.
