Welcome aboard, ESPY!

First of, to clarify:
SD radar = air search radar = shows planes ONLY
SJ radar = surface search radar = picks up ships

Now, the game doesn't HAVE a station for the SD radar. The PPI/A-Scope views for the radar are BOTH for the SJ surface search radar. So if you get a radar contact yet the SJ turnes out clean after a few sweeps at max range then you have an incoming aircraft.

Without map contact updates, it is impossible to tell the range&bearing of an SD contact (this is actually realistic: the submarine version of the SD radar was a simple light: it didn't spcify range & bearing - jsut that there was an aircraft within less than [max range] of the sub).
