[Milsurplus] WWII Japanese VHF?

[Hue Miller]

BTW, that book i mentioned a while back, was the title "Flyboys" ?, talked 
about an
American POW on Chichi Jiimi, who was forced by the Japanese to do radio
intercept monitoring at their radio base there. There is a photo in the book
of the radio positions and the only receivers shown are the late 1930s huge
receiver, type Special Receiver Model 92. An issue of Radio News from the 
war
years has a photo of a radio receiver site installation captured at 
Guadalcanal and
again, the only receiver shown in the Special 92. ( Not "38 Special" ).  I 
don't
doubt that Japan had general coverage VHF monitor receivers but i'd also
confidently wager that these were in quite small supply and rarely 
encountered.
