Hey guys!

I'm trying to find info and preferably some image of the radarscopes used by the german surface ships.
I've started to model radar to my battleship simulator (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=228033&page=3), but need to know what kind of scope the Scharnhorst had... A-scope, L-scope or whatever.
Scharnhorst used the FuMO 22 and later FuMO 27, Bismarck had different versions, but I imagine the scope was something similar.

Anyone know something?

Cheers!

Thanks Rockstar! It helps alot!
I see the germans also used lobe-switching, not sure if it was for the naval radars though.
The document also links to http://www.cdvandt.org/opitz-wurzburg.htm
which is a nice page!

Still cannot find a photo of the seetakts display, but I imagine it should be something similar to the pictures in the Freya block display from the document you linked.
Probably pretty much the same as on the type VII.

Here's another interesting page a stumbled across: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNGER_Radar.php
