Berry,

Good question . But prop noise wouldn't restrict radar, mast obstruction would.
Well the question is, does the developer in charge of implementing radar know that? If not, then he could easily have tried to put in a radar that had a blind spot at 180 degrees bearing (i.e. behind the boat) and accidentally put in a blind spot at 180 degrees on the compass (i.e. South). It's not a question of what restricts radar - it's a question of what the developer might have been thinking when he made the feature.
