The radar depth brings the boat close to the surface, allowing the SJ surface search radar to be exposed, while hiding the rest of the boat.

SD radar was a range only, omni-directional radar. The radar itself does not rotate. The fact that you can get bearings on aircraft is a glitch. You should really only see range.

If you raise the SD antenna, you should be able to use it at periscope depth. Good for when hiding from aircraft, and before coming to the surface after being submerged.

Never noticed. I rarely use the observation scope.
