SNW 50
SNW 50 was a very high powered weather radar operating in X-Band. The so called “Storm Warning Radar” was an attempt to use the 3 cm wave length for a long range weather radar.
Due to the high attenuation in this frequency range, this radar did not have any significant success on the market. Only very few exemplars were built.
