Taking notes

Dependent on how challenging a signal is to track, or how many of those there are, it can be helpful to take notes of previous tracking results.

Controls

Space: Draw a line on the map

• from your current position to where the Spectrum Device is currently pointing to
• put a marker with the currently selected frequency next to the player's position

You can use a different color for both the line and marker by additionally pressing one of the following keys:

• Ctrl
• Shift
• Alt

To change the controls edit the CBA key bindings under Controls > Configure Addons > Crows Electronic Warfare (search for the term Spectrum Autoline there).
There is also an option for "Start Deviation" that controls how precise the autoline is. If there is a high deviation, then it is more likely that the point the line is going towards is not excatly where the signal is. This was added as a way to control how strong a tool the autoline and avoid just being able to spam the autoline and knowing exactly where the signal is.

Tactical use

When players point at the same signal from different positions, and take notes/lines of those measurements, there is a chance of those lines intersecting. The likely position of the signal source is where the lines intersect. (This can also be done cooperatively with Spectrum Device users of other friendly elements that are located somewhere else. Their lines however need to be put manually on the map.)

Tracking multiple signals simultaneously

To take notes for different signals, use different colors on the map. This makes it easier to separate all the lines on the map.
