Video lockup recovery

Video lockup or picture freeze, can occur unex-
pectedly on digital rasterscan radars. This is
mainly caused by heavy spike noise in the
power line, and can be noticed by carefully
watching the nearly invisible sweep line. If you
suspect that the picture is not updated every
scan of the antenna or no key entry is accepted
notwithstanding the apparently normal picture,
turn the power off and on.
