Radar transformers?  Never heard that term used before . . .
There really isn't any type of "radar transformer".  Perhaps they are
referring to just some type of mains transformer like a 440VAC 3 phase to
208VAC 3 phase or something, or perhaps they are referring to a transformer
used in a high voltage power supply used to power high power RF devices such
as TWT's, CFA's, etc...

Yes, the supplies you see on ebay aren't power supplies. They are microwave
amplifiers.
