An AA gun with normal FC (sub 100) is an optical (or whatever) on-sight system and so is not in the EW battle. Normal visual rules apply there.

Okay, that's what I originally thought and it's really the only way it makes sense.

So, to put things together, the only "problem" we have is that Radar AAA has too low FC-100 almost throughout the game compared to non-radar AAA FC. As a general rule should FC(radar)-100 ≥ FC(non-radar) when comparing systems of roughly the same era and technology level. In practice that would mean that minimum FC for radar controlled AA should be somewhere around 110, since most WW2 AA guns with a predictor sight get 10. Of course a modern electro-optically directed AA gun such as modernized ZU-23-2 guns with a LRF and digital computer will still beat a 1950s era radar controlled gun.
