You are so full of **** your eyes are floating. The figure for radars
is peak power, the rating, not average, what the battery sees. By your
math, your 2.2 kw radar would draw 180 amps. The monster alternator
would not be cheap in the box, let alone installed. One more time. A
2kw radar draws less than two amps.

By the way, one hundredth the power gives you thirty percent of the
range. Power in the radar return is proportion to the fourth power of
distance. Were you an English major? None of them ever took Physics.
