One thing that I have seen happen is I'll get a "Radar contact, bearing 109" or whatever, see a little marker (map contacts on), and it then might drop-out, only to be replaced by a red triangle about 3 or 4 minutes later. "Sorry sir, tube went out!" Are you supplementing your SD with SJ?
SD-1 and SV at the moment. i still do not know exactly how that f6cker got so close before we detected him.

nobody really had airborne 40mm during the war. the Nazi's had a couple of late-models armed with 30mm and those were devastating.
but i understand your reasoning for putting the 40's into some planes. i don't like it but i understand it.

i do have the APR installed but we have not detected any radar to date, which makes me wonder if it is working. i seem to remember that there is no on/off switch, you install it and it operates. or do i remember incorrectly?
