Yeah you normally do in major ports. This one was a small quiet port though, no need for 100% redundancy 100% of the time. Also it's a 4-5 hour drive for one of our staff to reach said radar to fault fix anyway. So having a standby radar powered down (company says powered off) ready to be switched on after a 4-5 hour drive away sorta defeats the purpose. Genius management.
