My Unsatisfactory Condition Report suggested that the software patch that stratifies the sort box over radar sites be mandatory, not optional. As mentioned earlier, this patch was implemented at Cleveland Center in 1990 to support CENRAP. However, it wasn't implemented over Dansville at the same time as there is no approach control located near there that required that support. However, shortly after my "Real Targets - Unreal Displays" paper was reprinted in the Jan-Mar '92 issue of the Journal of Air Traffic Control, the sort box over Dansville was stratified. Remember, use of the patch isn't mandatory.
