Dual polarization radar that was supposed to give you a 3D view of cloud banks, one or two other things that I can't remember, and then...Klystron 9 Which was supposed to be one of the most powerful radar systems in the country...I don't doubt that claim as after they put it in, the area around their tower on the map ALWAYS had a small, jagged, fuzzy ring of false 'clouds' around it (which I assume was from all that power reflecting off dust in the air near the tower and the occasional bird that got too close and roasted...).
