I'm using TMO and RSRD. All air contacts are announced with a bearing. As I currently don't have surface search radar it's the only radar contacts I'm getting. My normal SOP is to go to the bridge and use my binos to check along the announced bearing (I don't use map contacts on for aircraft). If I don't see an aircraft then I know I have a little time before needing to dive. If I see an aircraft then it's an automatic crashdive.

The two scopes do NOT show air contacts, only surface contacts. The right hand scope shows bearing while the left hand scope shows range. These scopes do NOT work until you actually install the SJ radar while you are docked at base. The station is displayed regardless which causes some confusion if you're new to the game.

Note: if you do have surface search radar and you get contacts but no sonar contact it's more than likely sampans.
