Blacksheep,
Thanks for the info. My experience is that moisture in the radome presents more of a operational challenge to flight crews because of the greatly reduced power (supposedly compensated for my computer/software enhancement) of newer radars. My opintion is that the newer lower power radars have a much greater attenuation problem and are more susceptable to degradation due to radome moisture problems than the earlier highter powered x and c band radars (does anyone make c band radars anymore?).
