I am particularly interested in the planetary radar equipment, there is a great deal of infomation about the receivers available but none about the transmitter other than it is 1 MW.
There are detailed records of receiver maintenance and as a service technician I would like to bang heads together, (loose connectors and vacuum leaks seem to put them out of action every week!).
I would like to know how this equipment is used, pulse width, receiver band width etc.
