## Discrepancy

RADAR OUT OF SERVICE.  TESTED ON GROUND AND CONFIRMED FAILURE.  TRANSCEIVER WAS CHECKED AND AN OVER TEMPERATURE INDICATION WAS FOUND.  TRANSCEIVER WAS REMOVED AND REINSTALLED WHEN IT REACHED A COOLER TEMPERATURE, THE OVER TEMPERATURE INDICATOR WAS RESET BUT THOSE ACTIONS DID NOT CORRECT PROBLEM.
