Here is how I am able to successfully use radar:
I don't touch a thing.
Like you, I equip it at the beginning of a career. As I understand things, this is not historically accurate on my part in December of 1941. However, I wanted to see how it worked and also desired to coordinate it with sonar contacting.
Like you, I've never been able to get any switch or knob on the radar station to react in any way to my interaction. Same for the yellow buttons for default radar commands.
So, I just leave port and sometime later my radar guy will let me know when contacts appear to him on radar. In the usual manner, these contacts are displayed with ridiculous accuracy, including dead accurate range, and target's heading. I am perhaps more bothered by the fact that I can't actually turn off map updates for targets. I turn it off before career, during port, during sail, before battle, etc. It just never goes away, those map updates. Same for external cam -- I can't get it to stay off.
