FWIW, the first available site I could find credits Fan Song C/E with the following PRFs: PRF 828-1440 Search. 1656-2880 Trk. Makes me wonder now. Did they "flip a switch" and double the prf? Or did the prf double because the aircraft was in the box and two beams at the same prf were hitting? snip I imagine PRF changed automatically as soon as they started auto-tracking. Otherwise, they could do so manually when jamming required manual track. The Fansong actually had three guys to do manual tracking, one each for range, altitude and azimuth. Guy
