Actually the Germans got the first patent on a magnetron system for generating radar pulses in 1938, the Allies took that and improved on it but no-one uses them anymore as the pulses it generates can fluctuate considerably and there are much better ways of doing it.Originally posted by NigelJK View PostNot with a Magnatron they didn't."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
