Welcome to radartruck.com

A site devoted to the promotion of land-based mobile/vehicular RADAR systems
for weather, surveillance, and personal security purposes, hobbies and study,
and the presentation of other interesting RADAR information.

The main interest is for low cost experimental RADARs with PPI and other CRT-style displays, and to offer sources of information and CRTs for experimenters. Hopefully it will grow over time to include digital systems.

For now we can offer this information freely:

WWII MIT Radiation Lab Series concerning RADAR, copyrights expired. This is good material for understanding the basics, in great detail.
