(meteorobs) US Air Force Space Surveillance Radar - tuning in?

[Thomas Ashcraft]

Can anyone give me advice on tuning into the US Air Force Space 
Surveillance Radar in Texas?

I am using an ICOM PCR1000 radio with a tv antenna pointed towards 
Archer City, Texas and am tuned at 216.980 MHz.  Using USB I get a very 
strong tone. Is this the tone of the radar?  Any advice as to settings ( 
USB/LSB/CW ? ) and what filtering combination is best is welcome.  I 
wonder if you can receive meteor scatter without having the constant 
tone in the background?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Clear skies,
