Like anything that is marginal - good arguments could be made either way to support a theory.
Quite but you were so dismissive in your post and Devil was rather more open that I tended to lean towards his answer.
As for radar clutter - what about RAG maps?? used to work well on Watchman radars... seems to me the more processed radar is nowadays, the less flexibility the user has to use RAG maps etc to get rid of clutter.
Sorry, the last terminal unit I was at was Gutersloh (we were in the process of getting watchman, had the hardened radar room built AND an SSR tower, then the cold war ended ), then I went area for 10 years. Whats a RAG map and how does it cope with Multi Radar Processing?
