But the game does not do that. Oh sure, you can turn the radar off (FotRSU <Ctrl><T>), but first wave over the conn, and presto-change-oh, and it turns back on, because it got "wet", then got "dry", and "time to turn on again". Short of a hammer, I don't know how to keep it turned off after it gets "wet", nor do I know of a way to keep it on for those short spurts of "wet"... someone else might.

ok, ok, i get it.
the violent sea state causes the unit to think that it was submerged and so when the wave passes, it thinks it has surfaced.
terrible design and programming. just terrible.
thanks for making me aware of the obvious
