12. Repeatedly key the aircraft communications radio microphone:
a.
If keying the transmitter does not cause strike data to appear on the CRT, proceed to step 13.
b.
If strike data appears on the CRT when the transmitter is keyed:
•
Verify separation of the NY-163 and aircraft communication system antennas.
•
Check the routing of the stormscope antenna cable with respect to the aircraft
communication system antenna cables.
•
Contact customer service for advice and assistance.
13. To verify antenna orientation and the integrity of the antenna wiring, a antenna phase check must be
performed using at least the four cardinal headings (000, 090, 180, and 270) and using the following
WX-PA ranges: 120, 75, and 30 nmi. Refer to figure 3-7 for the test setup.
a.
Connect the WX-PA cable to the WX-PA antenna.
b.
Refer to figure 3-8 and position the WX-PA antenna on the system antenna. Make sure the
