TACAN Use in T-45

Salute

I have had a look at the video Fruitbat posted about how to use the TACAN in the T-45 however I dont think it is working the same now? (unless I am doing it wrong, which is a high possibility) 

I wanted to navigate to the carrier which has a code of 74X STN.

I plugged 74 into the TACAN box and switched on. The button to select X/Y does not seem tot work?  I set the left display to TCAN but the display did not show the icon for the TACAN as demonstrated in the video, plus the heading seemed out?

Is there any chance someone who knows about these things could try setting it up and tell me if there is an issue or it is me doing something wrong?

Many thanks

regards

Friar

All sorted now - was due to me not having line of sight to the signal from the carrier (a little knowledge is a dangerous thing). 

Thanks to Fruitbat for acting as my Instructor in the back seat and putting me right.

Thanks to @fruitbat and @DD_Fenrir for the session on Saturday evening.
