What's the date, and what type of boat do you have? The two displays on the boat are both for the surface search radar. The thing is, surface search radar doesn't become available until mid-1942 at the earliest, and standard on most boats until 1943 sometime. Unless you're starting a career in a full sized boat in 1943 or later, you have to buy the radar with renown. The likely thing is that you don't have it, and thus you can't turn it on. Sub school is based around a radar equipped boat, so it worked there.

The air search radar is probably standard on your boat at the beginning of the war, but there are no controls for it. The SD radar is always on when you're surfaced.
