Does anyone have some simple instructions for the radar? How do you select a target? If you have multiple aircraft on radar how do you select a paticular one? I click on the two buttons marked TUP and TDN, but they do not aquire a target most of the time. Also once a target is aquired what do the two numbers around the target mean and what does the number on the center left of the display mean? Also I read in a different post that the number on the top left of the display meant the heading to target, this I assume is the heading I need to take. This does not make sense because if a target is about 2 o'clock from the center of the display, I am on a heading of 40, the number in the upper left says 270 while I am think that at the most my heading should be a compass heading of 55 or 60 to fly straight to the target.
Any input will be appreciated.
Regards,
Rod

You can't select a particular one, with TUP and TDN buttons, you scroll up/down through the list of currently visible targets. Visible means, in range and in the field of view of the antenna.
Also once a target is aquired what do the two numbers around the target mean and what does the number on the center left of the display mean?
This has been explained here:

No, it's the target own heading. To fly towards a target, simply turn the airplane until the target is in the middle of the screen.
