This is way out of my wheelhouse, but here’s the best I can figure out:

It wasn’t just software tweaks.

The AN/APG-79 AESA radar was a major hardware upgrade over older systems. It uses advanced tech that allows the radar beam to move instantly without any moving parts. It can also switch modes and adjust how it scans the sky—like changing channels, zooming in, or fine-tuning its focus—all in real time. That lets it spot smaller or faster objects that older radars would’ve missed.

Bottom line: both hardware and software improvements contributed to the increase in UAP detections after 2014.

As posted all software tweaks.

Changing frequencies beyond +/- a few % would be a hardware redesign. That is the nature of an array of multiple spaced elements. The individual elements are also designed for fairly narrow frequency operation.

I worked on that sort of stuff decades ago.

Most radar signal processing is “gated” to avoid various things, like objects moving too slow, birds, etc. Called target discrimination. Tuned for likely targets, IOW.

Urinalysts just make crap up when they have no idea what they are scribbling.

The information I shared didn’t come from analysts—it came directly from Navy pilots with hands-on experience using the upgraded radar systems, like Ryan Graves. They reported that after the AN/APG-79 was installed, they began detecting UAPs almost daily—objects that hadn’t appeared on older systems.

That speaks for itself.

But I am rational, unbiased, and I can read.

You on the other hand...

Your dismissiveness is not a counterargument—it’s a form of intellectual dishonesty. It’s no different than an ad hominem: instead of addressing what was said, you try to discredit who said it (urinalysts).

And when you commented:

“This is way out of my wheelhouse,”

Someone displays a little earnest humility about a subject—admits that this is not their major in college—and you jump at the chance to take advantage of it.

You're a schoolyard bully. A coward waiting for some little kid to take a swing at him. And then you cry like the coward you are.

If you are a Christian, come clean in Christ. Do it for the unbelievers who watch. Do it for those who think we are weak.

Show them that we are strong.
