RTS-002 (Radar Technician Scanner Mark 2)

RTS-002 (Radar Technician Scanner Mark2) This device is used by certified radar technicians on all First Order land or space-based transportation and military base support. It's designed to help quickly diagnose and repair flaws in complex radial patterns produced when locating and tracking vehicles and life forms. The mark 2 design was implemented as a mandatory replacement for the mark 1 due to numerous flaws in design and functionality discovered by First Order leader Kylo Ren after using the device during an undercover Starkiller Base recon operation as a radar technician. Since implementation, there's been significant disagreement from First Order radar technicians about the new scanner. Many have expressed frustration that the functions are more cumbersome than the original design and have other questionable features deemed unnecessary. These include a "loud creepy and raspy voice" that indicates when a scan completes and another button that produces an electronic breathing sound with no known diagnosis or repair function. First Order Leader Kylo Ren refuses to discuss making any further changes to the design, threatening sanitation duty to anyone who argues against it. Note from the designer - Kylo Ren The radar scanner I've put in place within the First Order is something I'm most proud of. It's the Grandfather of all scanners we've ever produced and very simple to use. With a voice command 'Show me', the device will scan for problems known from our vast troubleshooting holocron and then uplink the most effective solution. Case Study - Anonymous First Order Radar Technician This has to be one of the worst updates I've seen made to our scanners. Before the mark 2, we had a simple one-button diagnosis with a singular holo-readout that mapped out the source for radar pulse blackouts. The mark 2 doesn't work right and the instruction guide's 'show me' command does nothing! It just sits there and never comes back with a proper diagnosis. I feel like I'm staring at something that adds no value to my job. Thankfully, the green button is there as a manual press function like the mark 1 had. The scan confirmation voice feedback thing is very annoying and loud. There's no way to override it into silent mode. One of the buttons sounds like someone having severe breathing problems, but I've yet to get any answer on its functional purpose. Rumor has it that the last person who knew this scanner inside out was killed in an unfortunate freak accident in the manufacturing unit, which also destroyed every mark 1 scanner and device blueprint. Without proper field testing, we continue to use these scanners without full training on the device.
