 sound and image # = this are the sound # and image that would show up on RWR of affected radar . Note if there is a radar.dat linked then that over-rides these numbers .
-High and low gains = this values show how sensitive this radar shows in RWR of other ac .
+High and low gains = this values show how sensitive this radar shows in RWR display of other ac .low gain is for RWR low mode and RWR is for high alt (above 12K ). This will change placement of icon in the  RWR screen, is not directly related to range but range range is a factor    .
 Sweep rate  = this is sweep angle in radian per seconds

 Scan half angle azimuth = this is scan angle of azimuth in radians .1.0472 =60deg, which has coverage of 120deg azimuth scan , 3.1416 = 180deg, which gives full coverage of 360deg azimuth scan .
-Range = this is range of radar in ft .
+Range = this is range of radar in ft .The actual range will only match the value with a RC=1.0 (fighter size RC like F16) so detection range = distance x RC factor .
 lock time = this is lock time in ms (longer means better , think of it as memory time)

 Chaff chance = this is a value how effective chaffs are against radar .(lower , chaffs less effective)
-ECN range = this is multiplier of how resistant the radar is to ECM .
+ECM range = this is multiplier of how resistant the radar is to ECM . radar distance gets multiplied by this value , reducing there strength, locking distance .
