Radar Needs
(Current: last updated March 2014) * Fix radome hatch weather seal. * Better solution to prevent water from dripping on the AMR in radome (instead of the blue tarp). Should not be an immediate need since the resealing/painting of the radome. * New Plywood sheet for hole on floor in radome. * New receiver so we can upgrade software to work on RHEL6. * Replace magnetron/PFN/etc with solid state system from Pulse Systems. * Fix safety switch in radome...loose connection. * Clean slip rings and lubricate gears (every spring). * Install dehumidifier in radome every spring and remove every fall. * Maintenance on waveguide compressor (dry desiccant, check for leaks, etc.) every spring. * Check UPS batteries every month. * Determine solution to local frequency interferences.
(Pre-October 2011) * Reseal radome with silicone on inside, have the radome professionally sealed and painted on outside, or replace entire radome with new. * Fix wedges to help seal radome hatch. * Better solution to prevent water from dripping on the AMR in radome. Currently a blue tarp is hanging over the top of the AMR. * New Plywood sheet for hole on floor in radome. * New RVP8 computer (motherboard) and configuration (1 rx board w/ 1 IFD). * Fix safety switch in radome...loose connection. * Clean slip rings and lubricate gears (every spring). * Install dehumidifier in radome every spring and remove every fall. * Replace magnetron/PFN/etc with solid state system from Pulse Systems. * Rebuild components of the servo amp.
