Can you retract the circular antenna?
 

Hello,
I read the GWX expansion manual and it says to use Shift+R to retract it, but it doesnt retract. This may be used for the radars and not the antenna. But if it is, is there a way to retract the antenna? I thought those long cables going from bow to stern were the antennae?

I'm certain this has been posted recently but I cant find it.

edit: I found the post, but I'm still confused. Do you need a mod to raise and lower it? I am running GWX1.03

Also, what does the loop antenna do? whats it called?

There is no trigger currently available which allows us to raise & lower the RDF Loop (Radio Direction Finder).

There is a mod available on the GWX Website (click on my Sig) which allows you to have it down permantley. This will not affect the Radar.:up:

The cables running fore and aft would initially detect the radio signal and the loop would be rotated to give you a bearing.

Thanks, now that I know what it's called I'm going to read about it.

edit: heres a great read from uboat.net

If you are talking about the radio direction finder loop... it retracts when you submerge.

Is the Circular RDF a mod?

Is it just part of GWX?
