Hpasp,
I looked for your answer about Elliptic Search method, but I couldn't find it... What about now? Could you explain that?
Also, why PRF is changed when we change the range scale?
And what's this switch on I64V panel that frighten the SR71?
Thanks again.
PS:. If anyone could answer my question about casualties in North Vietnam SAM sites I'd be pleased.
PRF, at 150km range mode, the emitted electromagnetic impulse has to travel twice the distance, compared to 75km mode, thus we could send out half of the amount compared to 75km.

RPK
The RPK system is continuously calculating and creating the missile guidance commands, even when they are not launched.
Those signals could be sent to the dummy load, or emitted by the P16 antenna.
With this switch, you can select between dummy load (EKV) or the P16 (ANT).
When missile is launched, this switch is overruled and the commands are emitted via the P16.
If the P16 is selected (manually or automatically), it is indicated by the green lamp.
At the Volhov, if the system is in BR and 75km mode, the RPK signals are automatically sent to the P16 to frighten the enemy.
