getDetectedTargets() & enableEmissions() issue

[Draken35]

I've been working on an ELINT script that uses getDetectedTargets() by the RWR of the unit and found an issue when the emissions of SAM's SR/TR radars are turned off and on with enableEmissions().  If the SR/TR starts the mission with emissions enabled, they are detected with out issues by  getDetectedTargets() (with or without the RWR option), and stop been detectded, as expected, when enableEmissions(false) is issued. Problem is, that after that point it will never be detected again after enabling their emission again.

Attached is a simple mission to illustrate this behavior. It has an SA-3 simplified site (1 SR, 1 TR and 1 LN) and an E-3 AWACS doing the detection. The radars start ON, and they are cycled ON and OFF every 10 seconds... 

This is the script driving it:

  -- Radar on/off cycle 
  state = 'ON'
  emissions = true
  trigger.action.outText('RADARs are '..state , 10 , false)
  timer.scheduleFunction(function(param, time)    
    local g = Group.getByName('SAM')
    if state == 'ON' then
      state = 'OFF' 
      emissions = false
    else
      state = 'ON' 
      emissions = true
    end
    g:enableEmission(emissions)
    trigger.action.outText('RADARs are '..state , 10 , false)
    return timer.getTime()+10 
  end, {}, timer.getTime()+10) 

  -- Detection loop
  timer.scheduleFunction(function(param, time)    
    local u = Unit.getByName('AWACS')
    local DT = u:getController():getDetectedTargets(16)
    for _,t in pairs(DT) do
      trigger.action.outText(t.object:getName()..' detected by AWACS' , 10 , false)
    end
    return timer.getTime()+1 
  end, {}, timer.getTime()+1)
