Racoon76 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hello, Yesterday we did a trainind with a F14 team and we tried to use the tacan to localize the Tomcats. I was a bit confuse, because it was impossible to receive any Tacan. We tried all modes, but nothing. How i must set my tacan to receive the signal ? It's work for tankers but not for Tomcats Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's work for tankers but not for Tomcats Regards Did you use a channel 63 higher than the what the Tomcat was using? Have a look at this video: Win10 Pro | i7-9700K @5.0GHz | 2080 Super @2160MHz | 32GB DDR4 3600 | DCS on 1TB M.2 NVME | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswinds V2 | HP Reverb | Huion 640P | Jetpad FSE | PointCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racoon76 Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the video. The Tomcats used 2X channel and i switched my tacan on 2X ... It was my mistake. But if they used 2X A/A T/R, i have to set 65X . Is that correct ? Edited August 16, 2020 by Racoon76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m fairly sure you only get ranging information not bearing. So it’s good for spacing but not actually tracking except for the fact your can see if your getting closer or tracking away. Again I’m sure that’s the case for all aircraft also expect purpose built tacan stations like tankers and such.

Racoon76 Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 I come back to you, because i don't receive tacan distance from others fighters when a put +/- 63 . Could you confirm it's work for the JF-17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Maybe try the Y channel instead. X is usually for ground stations (and tanker and carrier), so the possibility that you got something else is high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racoon76 Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Unfortunately not. I tested with a tanker and a second JF17. Each had their own channel. 10X for the tanker and 1Y for the JF. For the tanker, it's work perfectly, but nothing received from the second JF. Yet if I put myself on the second JF channel, i can hear the correct morse code. But nothing on my HSD, neither on 1Y nor on 64Y.

AeriaGloria Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 all my tests was done in the A/A-B mode. That B is for Beacon, it’s not implemented fully. Use AA RCV or the other AA mode Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racoon76 Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 B is for Big not Beacon https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4429377&postcount=6 I will do some checks tonight on a network server with all mode A/A. We will see what it gives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
