The radar was a truck mounted AW radar built by New South Wales Government Railways. The radar moved to Saddle Back Mountain, near Kiama, New South Wales and became operational on 20 April 1942. During the night of 19 February 1943, WAAAF operator Jo Lehmann plotted Susumi Ito's plane as it made a reconnaissance of the southern coast of New South Wales. The report at the time was ignored by Fighter Sector HQ.
