Alas, RADAR relies on transmitting and then reading the reflected waves.
It’s one of the benefits of being a tiny fraction of a sliver of the size of reddit. It’s also something that would change if people actually migrate to lemmy.
Fair enough, though I would argue that’s a very specific subtype of radar and anyone saying “radar” refers to the type that is used in 99.999% of the cases.
