First off, this exists as 3136 in the database. There is practically no difference between that and what you ask for. The difference is who got the contract... Raytheon or Westinghouse.

I notice you have confused your bands. I prefer the NATO system as it makes nice logical band breaks on convenient numbers. This radar is D band, it sits between around 1221 and 1399 MHz - it cant go lower or it interferes with TACAN and Link 16, it cant go higher as the permitted band limit is 1400 MHz for the D Band Radar Band (FCC limit). The L Band you refer to is IEEE L band, yet the numbers are those of the NATO L Band...

The PRF, if it matters to the Sim, is not 4, more likely it is 400.

You also have two PD ranges in your source, a short range wave form with a 20 PD and the longer range wave form that is 117 PD.

They are 2D radars, not 3D, altitude is determined by a co-located SSR which interogates Mode C. This only works if the target is fitted with the correct transponder, so wont work on Russian/Chinese built military aircraft.
