Not custom, it's part of TMO 2.5. Long ago, when the U boat expansion for SH 4 came out, I asked Ducimus if he could make it equipment for US subs and he did just that and one of those small features which really change things. In reality, it became standard equipment in early to mid 1944, first deployed in late 43. In the sim, if you have map contacts enabled, you will get a line on the map and a message in the dialog box at top of screen, it will say "Radar signal detected, sir!" Sometimes it is vocalized by the radar operator as well. I play without contacts often so it can get tricky, definitely pay attention to the dialog box. Unfortunately, without contacts on have no way of knowing the direction of radar signals (believe the real APR-1 was directional), so as explained process, but nice to know there is radar signals in your area, provides situational awareness. Very helpful with radar equipped aircraft as well.
