====== Map a Rumor ======

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.

**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.

  - 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.

**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.

**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.
