OK... I'm sticking the proverbial fork in 1.4. I tried all the tricks mentioned above and still don't have SJ radar. Based on what I've read on Ducimus' release notes this issue is resolved in his TMO mod. I'm ponying up the $10 bucks, buying the U-Boat mission pack to bring it up to 1.5 (through the link on Subsim.com of course), and downloading TMO 2.0.
I had intended to complete my first carreer under stock 1.4, but the benefits of ending my current carreer and going with 1.5 and TMO just seem too compelling. Besides the SJ radar issue, I'm getting tired of having to dive every 15 minutes of game time for aircraft. Looks like TMO 2.0 addresses this as well (at least in the early and late war periods).
Also, and please correct me if I'm wrong Ducimus, it looks like I won't have to creep along at 9 knots for maximum fuel efficiency but can now rip along at ahead Standard.
One more thing about TMO: I think it's pretty cool that the guy who wrote it is an active and obviously well respected member of this board. That's a further element that made me decide on the TMO mod.
Now... let's see just how deep this Salmon class will go.
Looks like ~440 feet and it's sleep with the fishies time....
