Automatic tuning

The radar receiver is tuned automatically
each time the transmitter is turned on. The
tuning indicator and the label AUTO at the

tuning circuit is working. The receiver may
become detuned, in automatic tuning, if own
ship’s radar receives the radar signal of an-
other shipborne radar. To retune, press the
[STBY/TX] key twice.

tor lights to about 80% of its total length.
