The Type 82 was notable for its use of the Data Handling System, one of the earliest examples of computerized radar handling, albeit in a semi-automatic and analog form. Positions were recorded by capacitors with 150 V representing a range of 150,000 yards (140,000 m) in military use, and 150 miles (240 km) for ATC use.
A significant improvement in the Type 80 compared to earlier radars was an automatic tuning system that allowed it to easily adjust to changes in the frequency as the magnetron warmed and cooled, and especially when it was serviced or replaced. In previous systems, such changes required a lengthy process of re-tuning the receiver, tube-by-tube.
