I always thought it was a fun bit of kit
...but as a surveillance radar, as opposed to its use for SRAs, it was rubbish. Poor range selection, underpowered such that precipitation plus suppressors killed the aircraft returns, and the manufacturers did not even include map data. And it would not detect the rear view of a Beech Baron on take-off!
