I see you uncommented the print statements that are already
in the consistency test of the Gridded2DSet constructor, and
unfortunately most of that information is not useful (don't
recall if I or someone else wrote these print statements, but
note that values of the Samples array are printed for indices
other than those used to compute v00, v01, v10 and v11).
But one useful piece of information is "(516,0)". Note that
516 is about half of LengthX = 1033, so the offending grid
box is at the haflway point along X. In fact, the offending
grid box from X=516 to X=517 exactly straddles 1033/2.
If X is your azimuth coordinate, is there an error in
computing angles halfway around the circle? One possibility
is that angles increase from X=0 to X=516, then there is a
decrease from X=516 to X=517, then they increase again.
Something like that. Or if X is your radius coordinate, is
there a similar error in computing radius halfway out, at
X=516?

If you are just looking at one radar at a time, then you
can either do your original suggestion, with ScalarMaps
of Radius to Radius and Azimuth to Longitude. Or you can
use just one Radar2DCoordinateSystem to the
(Latitude, Longitude) reference RealTuple, with ScalarMaps
of Latitude and Longitude to YAxis and XAxis.
Good luck,
Bill
