What's funny about that is that the Americans, during the war, did not believe the Japanese had the technology to home in on American radar emissions, but information came out after the war that indicated the Japanese had the equipment on board their ships as early as 1942 that could pick up American radar signals. Even so, standard protocol for operating SD radar was to run it intermittently at short intervals.
