A circuit card in a RADAR system has just been replaced with a spare card. You notice the voltage level at point E in Fig. 8F12 is negative 4.75 volts when the inputs are all at 5 volts. The problem is:
  • The 25 K resistor is open.
  • The 100 K resistor has been mistakenly replaced with a 50 K resistor.
  • The op amp is at the rail voltage.
  • Correct Answer
    The 50 K resistor has been mistakenly replaced with a 25 K resistor.

A defective crystal in the AFC section will cause:
  • No serious problems.
  • Correct Answer
    Bright flashing pie sections on the PPI.
  • Spiking on the PPI.
  • Vertical spikes that constantly move across the screen.

The RADAR display has sectors of solid video (spoking). What would be the first thing to check?
  • Antenna information circuits failure.
  • Frequency of raster scan.
  • Correct Answer
    For interference from nearby ships.
  • Constant velocity of antenna rotation.

When the RADAR display shows sectors of solid video in a spoked pattern, it may indicate interference from nearby ships. The spoking effect can occur when the RADAR signals bounce off the metallic structures of nearby vessels, creating echoes that appear as solid sectors on the display.

Mnemonic: "SAIL - Spoking, Antenna, Interference, Local vessels"

If the TR tube malfunctions:
  • The transmitter might be damaged.
  • Correct Answer
    The receiver might be damaged.
  • The klystron might be damaged.
  • Magnetron current will increase.

If the TR tube malfunctions:

The receiver might be damaged.

From KD9TIP:

TR Tube - The Receiver might be damaged.

A malfunctioning TR tube can lead to the receiver being damaged due to the inadvertent transfer of high-power energy from the transmitter during the receive phase.
