There are also two buttons on the sonar that say "send range" to TDL and another one as well. What are those for? I also don't understand what the "spread" is for. And I can't figure out why my radar doesn't work even though I have one installed on the submarine.
Sorry for all the questions. This makes Eve Online look like an easy game.

Fear not, our resident cool guy (aka RockinRobbins) has a video tutorial just for you! It's on auto-targeting, and you can watch it
The send Range/send bearing buttons are not really useful if you play auto-targeting. What they do is send the target's range and bearing (which you've acquired from your sonar) to the TDC.
"Spread" is manually altering the torpedo's track by as many degrees as you put your dial on, either to port (left) or to starboard (right). To understand what I'm saying, lock on a target and turn on the Position Keeper (red PK button on the TDC), then switch to your Attack Map. You'll see a green line extending from your sub to where the torpedo will hit (your target). Now, play with the spread dial and see how the line moves. Remember to set it back to zero when you're done.
SURFACE Radar only becomes available later on in the game, and you'll have to equip it when you're in base (and only once it becomes available) - what you have right from the get-go is AIR search radar.
Oh and if you find EVE online a breeze, you'll be playing SH4 on your fingertips really soon!
