sobe Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 A little confused on how to use the target range gate line in the radar scope.

VZ_342 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) It begins at max range, where the range gate first appears at 6 O'clock. As the range gets closer, the range gate gets longer, from 6 o'clock to straight up 12. That's what confused me for a bit....the range gate gets longer while the range gets shorter. Just pay attention to the edge of the gate, not the length of it. null Edited October 15, 2022 by VZ_342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Thanks for the response but I am referring to the target range gate inside the radar scope.

VZ_342 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Oh, and you even said that in your first post! What are you looking at when you say "target range gate inside the radar scope"? Edited October 15, 2022 by VZ_342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 In Chuck's guide, page 145, the Target Range Gate appears in the lower right picture. How does it work?

Solution VZ_342 Posted October 16, 2022 Solution Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) That is one of two images to keep track of the target. The cross in the middle tracks the target up/down and left/right, while the horizontal bar (range gate) slides up and down to show range. In the pic you referenced, the radar is set to 10 miles; the target range gate is shown just between the 4 mile and 2 mile range lines, and is about 3 1/2 miles away.
