Sending WAA range data to TMA?

In playing DW w/ no mods, anyone else have trouble sending range data from WAA to TMA? Tracker was assigned, can't figure this one out. Thanks guys.

I don't think it is possible. It is only the range readout on the pannel. But you can use it to adjust the TMA ruler manually. Fix the bearing value and slide it along the range.

I know this thread is way old now but I think I know the answer so thought it may help eager searchers in future:

When you see a WAA range showing up while tracking a passive sonar contact (must be a contact you are actually tracking obviously), hit the 'Rap Loc' button to send the data to the TMA.

'Rap Loc' means 'Rapid Location' btw.

And good luck.
