what is/are the connection(s) between the UPC, Upgrades, and Equipment files for upgradable equipment like surface radar?

i am trying to debug the upgrade process in RFB/RSRD because they are clearly messed up for more than one boat.
i THINK it has something to do with the name connectivity between the three files mentioned above however, there is something, a reference, something that is breaking the connection(s).

it would help to know how these three files reference each other for SJ radar equipment. There is a disconnect among these three references...or...there is a fourth reference in a fourth file. (or fifth or sixth or .....)

EDIT:
there is a fourth file.....i forgot to include Sargo.sns.
i see one disconnect. the date ranges here do not match the date ranges in the UPC files. i'll have to square up those items.
