American Guerrilla In The Philippines is a book by Ira Wolfert about the 
adventures of Lt. Richardson during the Japanese occupation.  Richardson had 
served under John Bulkeley and was one of the PT crewmembers turned loose 
when they ran out of boats.  See "They Were Expendable".

The book doesn't get specific about the radios except they had some sets 
delivered by submarine later in the war....is it possible they had liberated 
a TCS set from one of the boats?  Dunno.

American Guerrilla is a good read....tells how they reloaded .30 cal ammo 
with projectiles made from curtain rods and filed to fit.

Best,
