Default Radar Sentry

Larry, does this mean my poorly designed oscillator will behave like
an active radar reflector?
Cheers, Jim

Be informed those old units radiated like hell and will JAM anyone's
radar that picks up the stray X-band radiation from them. *When their
radar scanner points in your direction, they will see a sectorized blob
from its CW Xband output blanking out your radar return so they cannot
see where you are. *This radiation is caused by the poorly designed
local oscillator in the old X-band radar detector's waveguide cavity, a
Gunn Diode on approximately 10.525 Ghz.....
