Answering the latter question alone, some TRSAless Class D radar facilities
have the radar position(s) in the tower cab, which probably reduces the
personnel required compared to a separate room or facility which might
require separate supervisors, etc.

It does not affect staffing.

So if a controller is operating both the local and radar approach positions, he is
the same amount of staffing as a tower cab staffed with a local position, plus a
radar approach position operating at a different location (or room or building
etc.)





For example at KRDG, the same controller may operate both local and approach
(departure) during off-peak times. Not sure if radar control in the tower
cab qualifies as a "TRACON" though or if there is another acronym for the
setup.

If radar is worked in the cab it's called a TRACAB.
