Does anyone have the height and diameter of the SO-1 radar antenna housing.
Thank you,
Paul

Thanks Ted, I have that drawing, but I'm a bit skeptical about the accuracy. As a last resort, I may wind up having to work with it, but I was hoping someone here at least had the actual diameter. I'll be doing the version that doesn't have the short column between the mast and housing so it will require some estimation anyway.

I have made this exact measurement before for our radar installation aboard PT658. I will look for that info and send it. I may even have close up photos. Jerry

Always wished the SCR-517A "Beehive" radar had been included in that drawing!

I don't know if this is of any help or how accurate it is, I'd wait for Jerry's measurements they have the real thing including the mast:
