LGN1,

in my radar test mission i made the same experience than you. The receiver reported all contacts, independant of their wavelengths. But one thing i noticed: There´s obviously a delay in the ship´s equipment date. E.g. in one test (date was 19430601), i expected the enemy River class frigate to have a type 273 radar, because of its starttime 19430301. But it had is predecessor, a type 271 radar. Not until i started my test mission at 19430901, the dd was fitted with the later type. IIRC, i read something about a half a year "prototype" period of introduction for new weapons. But i´m not sure anymore.
