F-4 RADAR display

What did the actual display look like on the F-4 RADAR scope? Not how
the scope was arranged in the pit but the actual target in the scope.
Was it like a sine wave display with a spike or what?

A Tgt looked liked like this----- -

Teehee...nope, when locked, a firing circle, a little blip where the target
was, overtake on the left side...pretty 'modern', raw data type, but not WWll
sine wave stuff.

It just popped into my head: The Navy's F-4J and F-4S had an
AN/AWG-10A AMCS which included the AN/APQ-72 Radar (Westinghouse
design).

That was the radar in the F-4B/N. The radar in the J/S that was part of the
AWG-10/-10A was the APG-59 PD set, also from Westinghouse.

positioning the range gate over the tgt and
going to lock on the radar control stick (LRU-13), and the system
achieving lock.

They were Acquisition Symbols , also see my reply above
