NASA offered me $15,000 to take down my web site. Take a look and see why.

Then they must have fused results, because everytime I have worked with a
Center, they can see my transponder. The question is -- do they have
primary radar capability?

This is not a direct answer to your question. Sorry.

When I toured Houston Center pre-911 there were Nexrad type weather
displays in one corner, at the traffic management/weather specialists
area. The individual sectors did not have this display.

I remember asking about primary versus secondary and was told there was
backup secondary radar, as well as primary capability at the sectors.

Also when on a long cross country wth an instructor (whom I will never fly
with again) we were in contact with center, trying to punch a front line
in IMC. It was either Fr Worth or Houston Center, and the controller had
some sort of weather return because my instructor was asking for, and
taking vectors through the line.

So I want to say yes to your question. But I cant prove it positively.

Thanks. This was very useful.
