Leif,
Japanese radar detection capability did affect US operations in the Pacific. Some commanders learned to use the radar in short bursts to locate or range targets. I\'m not clear if many Japanese vessels actually carried radar detection equipment, but it was present on many island bases that would alert destroyer groups if they picked up impulses.
