Default RWR - efficiency

hopefully someone here knows which of the late-war radar-warning-receivers are best to identify airborne radar?

atm, my career is in Jan1944 and there are three RWR to choose from:
FuMB1 "Metox" (Biscay Cross)
FuMB7 "Naxos"
FuMB10 "Borkum"

I just don't know which one is the most efficient and covers the most band-width of allied radar .....
(GWX-manual does help in understanding the frequencies but does not tell which one to use)

any help appreciated!!

You want the latest in order to keep up with the advances in allied radar

This may help
http://www.uboataces.com/radar-warning.shtml

I can't give you any advice about how effective these are in game, as my war is usually over by the time RWR gear comes into service

EDIT: I suppose one would have to assume that later models (ie. higher numbers) means better?

I would think so too.
I think some of the best warning devices could detect even centimetric radar?

you are right.
what puzzled me was the difference of band-width between Naxos (3-12cm) and Borkum (20cm-3m).
I didn't know which one to install .....
but I decided to take the latest.

hope I'll survive to keep you informed!


thx for all the help, mates!!
