-====== How to Map a Rumor with SRS ======
+====== Map a Rumor ======
-Rumors are leads to hidden sites. Tune SRS to the rumor, follow its A/N course through the search area and land by the white-flagged tyre to make the site fully usable.
+Map a rumored site by tuning in to its A/N signal, following the steady course tone through the search area and landing by the white-flagged tyre at the true site.
-===== Does exploration require SRS? =====
+**Before the flight.** Type ''-tyc rumors'' in DCS chat for the open rumors, or switch on the **RADAR** layer on the Live Map to see their cones. Note the rumor's anchor airfield, direction, frequency and modulation.
-**Yes. SRS is required for A/N exploration.** The personal search signal is sent through SimpleRadio Standalone only after it verifies that your radio is tuned to the rumor's exact frequency **and** modulation. Without SRS, or with either setting wrong, you receive no A/N signal.
+  - Tune in: either set the exact frequency and modulation in SRS, or pick the rumor under **Navigation > A/N Receiver** in the radio menu.
+  - Start at the named anchor airfield and fly out in the broad direction given for the rumor.
+  - Listen in DCS audio for the A/N cue.
+  - When the two Morse patterns blend into a continuous, rhythm-free tone, hold that course line toward the site.
+  - If Morse **A** or **N** becomes distinct, turn gently until it blends back into the continuous tone.
+  - When the repeated **Z** overhead marker appears, descend and search visually.
+  - Land by the white-flagged tyre. It marks the true location.
-===== How do I follow an A/N course? =====
+**Success.** The tyre becomes friendly and the mapped site gains its normal Live Map details, radio-menu navigation and beacon. Mapping reveals the site but does not commission it.
-  - Open the rumor in ''F10 > Other > Tycoon > Navigation > Current rumors'' or on the map.
+**If no signal is audible.** Confirm that you are within the rumor's signal range and that SRS is connected with both tuning values matching exactly, or that the A/N Receiver is set to this rumor. Check that DCS audio is reaching the correct headset or speakers. Rumors can lapse, and higher-tier sites need the required regional Survey Station.
-  - Tune its exact frequency and modulation in SRS.
-  - Fly into the search circle along the broad direction from the named anchor airfield.
-  - A steady tone means you are on the course; Morse **A** or **N** tells you which side of it you have drifted to.
-  - Land by the white-flagged tyre. It marks the real site, not the centre of the search circle.
-The Gazelle hears a wider, more forgiving course and slightly farther away than other airframes. After mapping, the tyre becomes friendly and the site's normal map details, F10 navigation and beacon unlock.

-Only a limited number of rumors can be open and ignored leads eventually lapse. Tier 2 and Tier 3 sites also need a regional Survey Station. [[mechanics:exploration-and-direction-finding|Exploration and Direction Finding]] explains rumor states, tiers and station networks.
