[. . . ] 1776-78 R2. qxd 3/31/05 9:47 PM Page 1 POPTM MODE ALERTS POPTM Mode Alerts Because POPTM Mode travels on regular radar bandwidth, there is no particular alert for POPTM Mode transmissions. POPTM Mode alerts will be displayed as a regular radar alert. VG-2 ALERTS VG-2 Audio/Visual Alerts NOTE: You must turn this feature on before it will detect VG-2. When a VG-2 signal is detected, the detector `hides' its own radiated signal and becomes undetectable by the VG-2. Every 30 seconds, the detector checks for a VG-2 signal.
