Cooper
Okay-, radar. Warm up time -- we don't have any
comment on that?
Conrad
No.
That was straightforward.
Cooper
Acquisi tion range -­
Conrad
It acquired in excess of 250 miles and read at
250 miles.
Cooper
That's that. Acquisition attitude -- well, at one
ti.me I thought we were out of attitude, and it still
was reading right on, locked up.
Conrad
Yes.
Cooper
Ease of lock on -- good. Capability of holding lock
-- it seemed to hold lock very well. Flight display
Conrad
I t was fine. All you needed.
Cooper
Radar tests generally -­ from our point of view it
went very well. We never had any false lock problems
at all .
We didn I t really give these a fair shake,
however.
Conrad
Yes.
Cooper
But, from the testing that we did, we encountered
no false locks.
Conrad
We didn't get a false lock when we turned around
and looked at the REP.
Cooper
No, we didn't .
