I've used my radar and have gotten reports from my radioman. It can be detected but is useful if you have to be on the surface during the day in late war. As long as you keep your TC down it will give you plenty of warning of incoming aircraft. I also leave it turned on in fog. I've been able to get nearby contacts I would otherwise sail right past. Sonar is used in much the same way to find targets. Not sure if you can turn it off or why you would want to. As long as you are not checking a range to target or depth under keel you emit nothing that can be picked up.
