(2)
WX (weather) - Places radar system in the normal weather detection mode of operation. The indicator shows areas of significant rainfall as colored areas on the display. Terrain such as mountains, etc., may also be displayed.
(3)
WX/T (weather plus turbulence) - Normal weather detection is made and displayed in the same manner as the weather mode except targets (green, yellow or red), within 50 N.m, containing turbulence will be displayed in magenta.
(4)
GCS (ground clutter suppression) - Provides ground clutter suppression in WX and WX/T modes.
(5)
MAP - Provides a terrain map of the area ahead of the airplane. Displays, in green, yellow and red color, prominent features such as cities, mountains, coastlines, and rivers. The system gain is selectable in the MAP mode by the use of GAIN control.
NOTE: All modes may be used as desired by the operator without adverse effect on the radar system. However, all safety precautions must be observed when the radar is placed in operation on the ground near other airplanes, during defueling/refueling operations.
(6)
TEST - Activates the test mode for the system. Initially, the transmitter is enabled for less than 1 second to check for proper power generation and then the transmitter is muted for the remainder of the test. A test pattern is generated containing four concentric arcs with magenta, red, yellow, and green displayed from top to bottom. An antenna test sequence is automatically performed. A complete left-to-right scan and up-to-down tilt cycle will occur, with the tilt angle displayed on the indicator.
(7)
LFT, FWD, RGT push-buttons - Pressing LFT, indicator displays a left view with origin at the bottom right of CRT. Pressing RGT causes a right view to be displayed with origin at bottom left of CRT. Pressing FWD, a forward view is displayed with the origin at the bottom center. The indicator automatically powers on to the forward view.
(8)
HOLD push-button - when pressed, the image on the display is frozen. When pressed a second time, the hold operation is disabled.
(9)
RNG push-buttons - Controls the range in nmi on the indicator display. There are five settings 10, 20, 50, 120, 240.
(10)
MKR control - varies the intensity of the range arcs and azimuth lines relative to overall video brightness.
(11)
INT control - Varies the intensity of video on the display.
(12)
STAB push-button - Enables or disables the stabilization to the antenna system from the R/T unit, which receives a signal from the attitude reference system.
(13)
GAIN control - Controls the receiver sensitivity in MAP mode only. In all other modes the sensitivity is automatically controlled.
(14)
TILT control - allows the antenna system to be tilted up or down through 30 degrees (15 degrees in each direction).
