Greetings.
Most of those other versions feature mods that aren't visible in the Antenna array, so probably not. I mean, I could post a different Mod. number under five or six identical arrays...
I might tackle the proposed phased array, but that's it.

Hm, good enough for a one-off piece of equipment.

Boy, that's a change. I'm away from home right now; I'll consult my references when I get home. I think I have some minor coloration quibbles, but it's a hell of an upgrade.

Awesome work! Actually looks more like what I saw (Almost EVERY DAY) when visiting Dad aboard the C-Ville and Champ.
Question...Is there a WWII Radar sheet available? The basic Radar parts sheet I have isn't labelled except for a few items, and I believe the US Radar sheet is post-WWII?

I'm drawing USS Supply (Fast Combat Support Ship) right now, and I'm really troubled about the radars. I can find pictures of two but not the rest. And it seems to me, that none are on the US part sheet or the other part sheets with radars. So I'm asking you radar experts about help. The radars concerned is:
- AN/SPS-67 surface search radar (photo found)
- AN/SPS-64(v)9 navigation radar (photo found)
- MK23 TAS (no photo or drawing found)
- WRN-6 NAVSTAR GPS satellite navigation receiver (no photo or drawing found)
- Omega navigation receiver (for the drawing it might be only an antenna, but I couldn't quite be sure by reading the text)
- MK22 AIMS IFF (might be the MK22 at Novices WW2 part sheet?)
If anyone can help me out of my misery I would be much abliged

The Mk. 23 TAS is on the latest version of the US Radar sheet that I have. you'll have to look back a few pages, but it's there. As for the others, The GPS reciever might be on one of the more up to date US warship designs.

"SPS-67 is solid state version of SPS-10 using the same antena" this is quote from Norman Friedman's Naval Radar.
Tas Mk.23 was drawn as mentioned above.
