My FuG (1942 version) works just fine and detects other radar signals (although there are times I've been "seen" without warning in heavy seas and low visibility).

My question is, how does the radar work? It cost however much renown and has proved useless in 'seeing' ships my watch cant. Am I mistaken into thinking the sweep it does over the horizon is for detecting radar signals and not ships or is there a trick to getting the thing to work?

I'm playing GWX 3.0 with no extra mods (if only cause I'm technologically incompetent and don't know which is which and what to do with them once I have them!)
I've no idea what you are referring to with "Fug" but the readar and sensors are explained in the manual that came with the mod....pages 67 - 71.
