How is the variable range marker usually adjusted for accuracy?

  • Adjusting the frequency of the VRM oscillator at the maximum range.
  • Adjusting the frequency of the VRM oscillator at the minimum range.
  • Adjusting the readout to match at the median range ring.
  • Correct Answer
    The minimum and maximum ranges are aligned with the matching fixed range ring.
