Radar/Sonar Help

I've done some searching and read some of those threads, but I'm still not very clear on the two subjects.

I just got radar not too long ago (april 42), but haven't heard anything from the Radio man yet. Will we hear from him, or do I actually have to monitor the radar myself?

I've heard that the radar can be detected by Enemy ships and planes. Is it more of an advantage or disadvantage? Is it best to use it only at night unless you want to use your Flak guns? I mean even if I detect Planes & Ships, couldn't my position be compromised? Basically I want to know the benefits vs the risks.

And if someone could give me some similar answers and comments regarding Sonar vs Ships, I'd appreciate it. Oh, one more thing: Can sonar be turned off too?

Thanks
