There is no visual indication the radar is making the single sweep when viewing the icons. If, however you go to the bridge view and watch the radar antennae you will see it make a single 360 and stop which takes about 28 seconds. In that single sweep, only the closest and largest contacts within range of the radar will show up. Smaller contacts may require 2 more more sweeps to show up depending on their angle to your boat.

Thanks. I understand about looking at the radar console and how it switches out of sweep. I also can sit on the bridge looking at the radar antenna and click the single sweep button, and nothing happens. It sits there, in silent defiance of my will.
Now I've reinstalled the game fresh (includes a reboot, installing the game-supplied DirectX and Windows Media player stuff).
I can sit there on the bridge and click the continuous sweep button on and off and things work as expected.
When I turn it off, though, and click the one sweep button, it sometimes moves about 10 degrees and then stops. Then, if I double-click on the radar station tab, then change the range of the unit, then go back to the bride (using F5), it's rotating. And keeps rotating. And both sweep buttons are dull!
Finally, when I sit at the radar console, and turn it on manually, and don't have it sweeping, when I push the single sweep button, the scope brightens a bit in a single narrow focus and the unit powers off. Just what I'm seeing from the bridge.
I think I have a bug, or a radar operator that is using the other empty radar console to hide his still.
