Although my submarine is equipped with a radar set, when is advisable to use it? I'm concerned about my radar signal being picked up, but at the same time, I've had several very narrow escapes from aircraft that were not using radar, or their sets were turned off and they got awfully close to me before they were spotted.

Currently, I always turn my radar set off. If I were to leave it on, and something was picked up in the distance, does the radioman notify me or not? The late war radar detector works fine and usually there is ample time to dive, but, I'm concerned about the aircraft who don't have theirs on.

I thank you in advance for your help.
