RWR not picking up (some) search radar

[Johnny Johnny Johnny]

So I wanted to try out the new RWR sounds and noticed that some search radar does not seem to be picked up by the viggens RWR at all and some search radars seems to be solid tones (that is possibly intended with the new sounds, but being in the area with sams would mean constant tones)

However, I placed some SAM sites and some of them did not give any indication of radar until the tracking radar got a hold of me, I placed a lone search radar to test, in this particular test "flat face" and tried first with F18 and it's RWR picked it up almost instantly, then I switched to Viggen, same location and same path, but not a single search radar tone. 

Since it's a new RWR sound system things are a bit uncertain what is intended or not.

This is intended, most of the EWR's working frequency is well outside the Viggens RWR frequency range and will therefore not pick up the signals from them. The "Tin Shield" is the only EWR it can detect.
Frequency for the "Flat Face" is 0,850 GHz, while the minimum frequency for Viggens RWR 2GHz.

That explains a lot, since everything is new it's hard to know what's a bug or what's not. 

 

Thanks for clarifying, then I guess a close "as is"
