If they would have developed it more realstically the ESM station could be every bit as complex as sonar.
Of course you already know that, but I don't think many people realize it. Even fellow bubbleheads because of the air of secrecy surrounding the radio/esm room. Especially after the Walker incident. They really started coming down on us for discussing what was going on in there even with shipmates.

I was a WLR-8 guy, so what you'll see is very loosely based on that. I'd love to get all the radar stuff hacked out first before attacking the lower-freq DFs, but who knows, maybe someday!
I'm trying to come up with a better model for the emitters, receiving antennas, and receivers too. One thing I forgot to mention that is also not included in this sim is environmental effects like ducting - in effect, there is nothing between the receiver and the signal but a vacuum
If Dr Sid has a need of my services, such as they are, I'm sure we'll be in touch at some point!
