Can't get the Litening 2 Pod into LST mode

[stoop]

I looked at Deephack's video and he says Sensor Select Switch Left - LONG puts the TPOD into LST mode and sure enough in his video I can see the LST label at the bottom of the MFD.

I have the SS switch bound correctly (I think), but holding it down does not put me into LST mode.  Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

I found that you have to have the TPOD designated on an area first, so the bottom right quarter of the screen will say TPOD and then under that TPOD again. So if it's designated on a waypoint or something, just hit TDC depress in TPOD mode before enabling LSS.

I guess it wants an area to start looking for the laser.

LSS will then switch to LST after it finds the laser
