SPS 10, SPS 37, Repeaters and IFF. I think I got the numbers right.

We had an SPS 10 Pathfinder for surface search and a real antique SPS-6
for
air search. They finally decided the 6 was eating our budget and never
served a useful purpose as we were an AD with two 3" guns who couldn't
shoot down a Cessna and removed it. I kept the mount for the ship's TV
antenna system, tied into the gyros so you could keep it pointed at the
shore stations even if the ship turned...pretty neat, actually...(c;

No TACAN to go with the IFF? I was a TACAN tech working for a couple of
contractors for years....a great job...

Is there a downside?

Loved TACAN. What a brilliant idea originally. Was a USAF TACAN tech.
Never worked on them much, as they worked well and was mostly an ILS guy
until later when worked on airborne radars on transports.
