Anyway, Nisgeis, I think your right about the S standing for Search and the other letter standing for the model number, but the earliest type of US Shipborne Search Radar used in WWII was called the CXAM (Though I think the CXAM-1 was more widespread), which was introduced before the S models, What did that stand for?

Actually it was XCAM,and I don't know what it meant. I do know that USS Enterprise had it early on.
