I have a guess about what is going on here, though I could be completely off-base. By chance, are you trying to turn on the P-3's/Z-9EC's radars via the sensor panel? I've noticed that, occasionally, the game won't actually accept manual sensor activations, even with "Unit Obeys EMCON" unchecked; the setting is at fist accepted, but then immediately reverts back to "Unit Obeys EMCON" (maybe that's only after unpausing, I can't remember the exact sequence). When this happens, the best way to control the unit's sensors is by changing its EMCON settings (so, in this example, set the P-3's Radar EMCON to Active from the doctrine/WRA/EMCON window). I've had this happen to me enough times that falling back on the workaround when the sensor panel won't obey is practically second-nature for me, but I can see how such a situation could be confusing to someone who wasn't on the lookout for that error (I suppose I probably should file a bug report at some point, but when the workaround is so simple and I'm lazy...). I suppose the issue could always be something really silly like forgetting to turn on the surface-search range rings on the map, or maybe even something more problematic like a corrupted scenario or database file (though that strikes me as unlikely given the circumstances), but the above is my best guess.
