If I'm under water with the mast lowered, I do not have contacts. Not sure what's going on with that.

As for turning the radar on and off, that only affects the SJ surface search radar. The SD radar is always on.

There is no SD display. The PPI (round sweepy display) and the A-scope (grassy display) are both connected to the SJ set. Unlike SHCE, the only display for air search is the contact plotted on the map.
