not a bug Gain switch INOP in GMT A-G radar mode

[Pribs86]

Gain switch works in GM and SEA A-G radar mode. Does not work in GMT mode.

 

Thanks!

Hi Pribs86, 

What do you mean by a gain "Switch"? Are you talking about the gain option in the DATA menu?
If that's the case, the gain function on the radar DATA page is there to adjust the video background intensity, i.e. the ground depiction. In GMT mode, there is no ground depiction only the doppler shifted ground contacts detected as bricks. Therefore, the gain function is inoperative in this mode, as well as in the SEA mode. However, you will notice that the menu saves one gain level preference for all radar modes, so this menu is common to all ground radar modes. So it's not INOP, it's not applicable to modes like GMT or SEA where the raw ground returns are not depicted.

thank you

Hi! I should have said the gain OSB rocker button next to the OSBs on the MFD. It worked in GM and SEA mode so I guess it was a big assumption on my part that it just wasn't working on GMT mode when the gain slider wouldn't move when trying to make an adjustment. Thank you for clearing that up for me! I appreciate it!
