Ahhh, Finally, we have it. YOU are a product of GPS. YOU don't know
anything about navigation. YOU only know how to read a GPS. YOU will go
into a panic if you don't know your position to a few feet, by your GPS.
YOU don't know how RDF was used or could be used. YOU don't know how to
use celestial. YOU don't know how to use a compass. YOU are a rank
amateur who prowls the boat shows and reads the magazines, and sometimes
acts as crew, because YOU don't know anything about boating, except what
you read or hear from other people. YOU are a total phony !!!

Totally depended on the equipment, operator, and/or conditions. A
"navigator" would know how much credence he could apply to the
particular bearing and/or fix. This was part of navigating ....
something you don't have the knowledge or experience to understand....
you're a "gypser"

2 degrees? 5 degrees? what the hell knows how many degrees?

G see above

dude, wandering around in unknown waters with a obstacles nearby using an RDF
was stew ped. That *you* might have survived means only that *you* were lucky,
NOT fricken smart.

Jax, you've never done it .... you don't know whether it could or could
not be done.

Get over it, AND thank your lucky stars.

Get over it, Jax. You never were and never will be, a "navigator". You
have neither the mental capacity nor the basic abilities, to be one.

okay, besides where the signal came from, over the nee, what else does the

RDF

equipment tell _you_?



And again, you're too stupid to understand or be able to make any use of
that information.
Keep reading the Bowditch, Jax

I see you are trying to make some stupid "Jax" point here, so I'll bite.
In the days when we were all making use of RDF (either for a fix or a
homing beacon or danger bearing) the "equipment" told us three possible
things: Station identity, relative bearing, or true bearing, to the tower.

Are you looking for something else?
