What would be the best way to simulate a snorkel? I guess in game terms it should reduce the detection level?

I set mine up as a radar jammer. Makes sense that way in that the snorkel was a way to help reduce the chance of detection.

Yes that would make sense. But is this kind of device really working for ships?
It may be someone had an ELINT plane in mind.
What range and effect are you using?

Figure a screenshot of how I set mine up might be better than trying to explain it. By no means should I be considered an expert on the subject.

Thank you.
My device will have a much greater range (I can�t see why range should be limited for a passive jammer) and will have a little more effect. At least the german version which seems to be your model too.
(By the way, the FuG should be named "Hohentwiel" - the name of a mountain).

Oops, I'll fix that. I don't speak German, and to be honest my spelling in English is horrid to begin with.

Is your avatar a pic of a 57er Auxiliary Cruiser Medal or did you just crop the eagle from the pic?
