Would it be possible to mod the radar to work similar to the sonar and give out ranges and maybe even bearing data to the TDC?
I myself havent looked at it, or into it. but I think it is quite likely
possible, the function send bearing/Range to tdc exists already
in the 1024 commands cfg. So I speculate That by building
that command into the radar screen with a new button wouldnt
be impossible. I think

[edit]
its been so long now!, didnt the radar used to show range to object on the screen
that can possibly be displayed on peri ???????? Im not sure, but theres surely some
possibilities.
