Sorry - I must be an old wife!! I am a herc driver, and thats the reason we switch on prior to taxi. The other point is valid, whatever the technology. The C130-J has a modern radar, but we still switch on for stabilisation, so maybe I'm not the only old maid out there.
Maybe the manufacturors procedure is - wait for it - taxi with the radar on!
