Dumb question re WX radar.
I know some military equipment on ships and planes picks up radar signals to ascertain if they being tracked by a radar.
Would any Air Defence Radar Installations have similar equipment?
We fly with our WX radar on most of the time.
Therefore a target picked up on Primary Radar with no Transponder and also was not emitting a radar signal from it's Weather Radar (WX Radar) would be suspect.
Of course since no Primary search radar detection caused any alarm on the night of the disappearance no one checked if any target was emitting a WX radar signal.
As I stated I do not even know if the capability even exists at the ground radar stations concerned.
Very late in the day to ask the question but I was just wondering.
