There is little or no similarity.

A radar is active (it radiates energy).

A telescope is passive (It relys on incoming energy)

The only thing I can think of, is that you point both towards an object and get some sort of information from it.

What advantage does a radio telescope have over a optical telescope?

They function on entirely different principles. it is like asking what advantages does a parabolic sound detector ( a common spy device that looks like, but is not radar oriented) have over a pair of binoculars. one records sound or radio wavelengths, the other visual images. They have totally different applications one has a telescope operator as an observer, visually observing targets but the radio-telescope operator is merely a monitor. the analogy with radar is good as they are a derivative of Radio Direction and Ranging, hence RADAR,

Why were the first rest microwave ovens sometimes referred to as radar ranges?

The first microwave ovens were sometimes referred to as "radar ranges" because the technology used in microwave ovens was adapted from radar technology developed during World War II. The microwave oven's ability to cook food quickly and efficiently through the use of microwaves, similar to how radar technology detects objects, led to the association with radar.
