## Discrepancy

IN CLIMB FROM KWRI, THE AIRCRAFT'S WEATHER RADAR WOULD NOT PAINT WEATHER OR GROUND.  CREW RETURNED AIRCRAFT TO KWRI AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE WEATHER RADAR TRANCEIVER AND WEATHER RADAR ANTENNA.  THE SYSTEMS OPERATIONAL CHECK AND SELF-TEST WERE GOOD PER ALL APPLICABLE MANUALS AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
