ZQuickSilverZ Posted December 11, 2023 Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Can someone tell me the difference between these 2 command sets as far as actual radar scanning? Radar Stick Vertical Radar Elevation Why does scan elevation change how fast my sweep bar goes back and forth? Again I understand there is probably a difference using Mavericks but what about the actual radar... seems they do the same thing to me. I would not mind a crash course in HOW to use a radar... I am very new to this. Can someone tell my why I would not want to go full gain all the time? Seems to give a much clearer picture. Thank you. Edited December 11, 2023 by ZQuickSilverZ I need, I need, I need... What about my wants? QuickSilver original. "Off with his job" Mr Burns on the Simpsons.

Seems to give a much clearer picture. because you lose faint details, at higher gains items like runways cant be seen clearly. i use full gain when locating ships and for terrain avoidance mostly. 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB

As the antenna goes to the extreme upper and lower elevations it is constrained by the shape of the round nosecone, so it sweeps a shorter left-right distance. 1 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."
