See list belowJUN 3 196868-PA-T-112APA/Chief, Apollo Data Priority CoordinationVHF range shouldn’t be limited by software
Reference is made to the attached memorandum from Colonel Frank Borman. The 327 n.m. limit on the VHF ranging system appears to be a software constraint. I think it is due to the wau they scale the range. Would you people please check and see if we would be better off to change the scaling so that the computer program will not limit the range at which we can use this instrument even though it may reduce the accuracy of the rendezvous navigation. Since program changes get harder and harder to make, you had better decide as quickly as possible.
