Your "formula" is worthless since:

1. It would predict

> c + vi c - vi + V
> F_obs =src(--------------- * ---------------- ) F_emitted
c+vi-V c-vi

which is FALSIFIED by existent (see previous list I gave you)
experiments that CONFIRM
the CORRECT formula:

F_obs=sqrt((1+V/c)/(1-V/c))*F_mitted

2. You are incapable of generalizing your formula in order to solve
the two simple exercises I gave you.

So, your "stuff" is worthless

Typo:

> c + vi c - vi + V
> F_obs =SQRT(--------------- * ---------------- ) F_emitted

c+vi-V c-vi

Experiment says that there is no light speed anisotropy detected to
the limit < 10^-15.
So, you still suck.

More than enough? Dono gave you some references.

Expand your latest wild assed guess in orders of (v/c) and check against
observation.

The above experiments don't test Doppler radar frequency shift.

Accordingly their results are not relevant to Doppler radar frequency
shift.
