This is historically correct: Allied aircraft deliberately used both types of radar, in order to confuse the U-boat crews about the effectiveness of their radar receivers.

I made a large effort in the past to exchange Borkum and Naxos (unfortunately, I kept no record of the details). All that I achieved was to change the displayed names of the radar receivers, but not the radar wavelengths that they received.

I have also noticed this. With Metox sometimes ill get a warning and sometimes ill just get an "aircraft spotted".. And sometimes at night... :*(

Gj steibler, NYGM is a great mod!
