The Mod. 2 Radar is a prototype made by the Rotten Design Bureau, and an intended successor of the Mod. 1 Radar.

Operation
A radar dish is connected to the main board, and the radar dish starts spinning. The data from the antennae mounted on the radar dish is fed to the circuit which has a sine and cosine wave generator that produce waves that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. Those signals are fed into a circuit that either amplifies or reduces the signal strength depending on if a target has been detected or not by the antennae. Then that is fed into the oscilloscope display where the direction of the target and the proximity are displayed with the direction being a line towards the direction where the target is or was and the size of the line being how close the target is. The bigger the target, the closer it is to the antennae dish.
