I have radar installed on my boat, and a warning reciver too. I have the Radar turned off 99% of the time to avoid detection, but, on the odd occasion, I do stick in on for a few minutes at a time, see if there is anything out there. When i'm satisfied, it goes off again

I turn my radar on if I'm bored and want to see some action. It's a bit like leaving a piece of food out on a hot sunny day. Give it a few minutes and there will be flies all over it.

Like ddiplock, I leave my radar off the majority of the time, your radar warning is your real life saver. I`ve had plenty of aircraft warnings, don`t assume all radar warnings are ships, they`re not. Many times I`ve been attacked at night by radar, and searchlight equipted flying boats. It can be a real challenge late in the war, but remember even in early 1941 the Germans lost 3 of their top U-Boat Aces in the same month. So Happy Sailing, and stay alert.
