## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE, THE WEATHER RADAR WOULD NOT PAINT LEVEL FIVE WEATHER BEYOND THIRTY MILES AND INSIDE THIRTY MILES.  THE WEATHER RADAR WOULD PAINT A DIFFERENT PICTURE EVERY SWEEP.  AIRCRAFT DIVERTED TO TYS AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  REPLACED THE RADAR TRANSCEIVER.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.
