Anyway, for these to work well the plane of the array needs to be
normal to the
target. I'm just amazed the darn things work so well, and when will I
be able to get one surplus?

Civilian colour weather radar sets show up occasionally on e-bay. As a
matter of fact that's what got me to finally break down and ask the
question.

Uh,I don't believe weather radars are phased arrays. It would be
overkill,and an unnecessary expense.

The color part come from computer processing of the radar return

I could be wrong about its function, but there was a phased array system for
civil aircraft on e-bay a week or so ago.
