New radar’s distribution approaches (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draws near

'approaches' is the definition.
('draw near' can be a synonym of 'approach')

'new radar's distribution' is the wordplay.
'distribution' indicates an anagram.
'new'+'radars'='newradars'
'newradars' anagrammed gives 'DRAWS NEAR'.

(Other definitions for draws near that I've seen before include "Approaches" , "comes to" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
