Getting back to the topic of working the TDC, I thought I would state my own data entry procedure when using the position keeper.
Determine target course and speed via any method.
Enter speed into the TDC first.
Enter approximate AOB into the TDC.
Enter bearing and range into the TDC.
Start the position keeper.
Fine tune the AOB.
Get fresh bearing and range entered into the TDC.
If I'm not using the position keeper, my normal procedure is:
Determine target course and speed via any method.
Ensure the position keeper is off.
Set speed to either 0 or target speed depending on method of shooting.
Send range and shoot bearing to the TDC.
Set AOB to either 0 or the AOB of the target at the shoot bearing, depending on method.
Resend range and shoot bearing to the TDC just before firing to ensure that they haven't been messed up by a stadimeter reading or whatever during the approach.
