glen.a.williamson Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 Is it possible to follow and locate the source of an FM signal ( for example 31.0 FM) using the ADF system in the Apache? And, if so, could you tell me how to do so ... what steps are involved ?
draconus Posted June 27, 2022 Posted June 27, 2022 It says 100kHz-2199.5kHz AM for ADF. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
glen.a.williamson Posted June 27, 2022 Author Posted June 27, 2022 Thanks for your quick reply. This is what prompted me to ask .... I can locate the cows with the MGRS coordinates, and I can use ADF to locate the cow at the 761.000 AM frequency, but I can not figure out how to locate any of the cows with associated FM frequencies. Does anyone have any ideas as to how this is meant to be done ?

Does anyone have any ideas as to how this is meant to be done ? I'm guessing that whoever made this mission didn't have the correct understanding on the capabilities of the AH-64D's ADF system. Not only is the ADF limited to frequencies 100-2299.5 kHz (well below the FM frequencies in the briefing), but it is also limited to just AM radio signals and cannot tune FM signals. And since none of the other radios can generate DF bearings, the other locations cannot be found using the ADF method. 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man.

He did and I should add, that I made that mission not especially for the AH-64, but also for Huey and other stuff. And as they can do FM homing I was thinking that the Apache might be able to do so too. And your feedback of lacking info will be adressed Edited June 28, 2022 by nazradu 1
