It is important to remember the characteristics of a line-of-sight
situation as it will aid in "reading" the signal in the field.
Next repeat the practice procedure in an area similar to your
search area (open fields, forested area, etc.). By this point, you

Tracker receiver. This is important as your attention should be
focused on analyzing the signal rather than operating the receiv-
er. If the frequency is set correctly, the gain mode is in MAN and
the gain level is set correctly, your attention can then be focused
