I believe it's time to get a new radio man...

OR a hearing aid for the current radio man.

Not really, it could be that he tried to listen as you were still above 10 meters depth. Above that the hydrophone doesn't work. Any chance you did a dive to periscope depth?

For some reason, It seems like I'm always at this depth when I order periscope depth. Should it be deeper? I'll keep it in mind, less than 10 meters for the hydro.

Thanks!

I usually level out at 12 meters with GWX3. But there are some bobs up and down before I get there.

Mods might be the cause if they change the periscope depth level command. But it might also depend on your speed, and slight positive or negative buoyancy of your sub. Again, most likely mod dependent.

Maybe he was just very tired? I had a situation where my sonar guy had like 1/10 of his endurance bar and he couldn't hear most of the contacts.

Periscope depth 10 meters is a normal depth for a type II. I would think that the soundman is too unexperienced or tired or both.

NOW there is no sound contact.
