Radar station question.

[vedrand]

Dear all,
for quite a while I preferred to play early war and did not have any radars and that modern stuff... Now I am sitting in a Monsoon boat have the radar on board but completely fail to use it properly.

Q1) I realized there are several buttons on the radar - switch on/off (clear), scale change (clear), rotate vs. fixed (I guess that's what it is). I remember reading in this forum that the radar is "pulsed" meaning there will be no steady detection all the time given the right antenna orientation, but rather a pulse every 12 seconds or so... Is that correct. Now my major problem is, when I'm at the station and I stop the rotation I can not see (from the wheel) the current radar orientation. Is there a way to zoom in so I can se where I am looking at.

Q2) When I order the radioman to turn the radar on, he switches it off after a short while. Did is known bug I guess? Are there any workarounds for this?

Thank you a lot felow Kaleuns!
