"The Americans invading the Philippines continued to recieved information
from the radio network operated by the guerrillas within enemy territory...  
The (radio sets) used by the guerrilla forces were a motley assortment:  
SCRs- 284, 288, 300, Australian ATR 4-A, 
and a Dutch set having an electric generator driven by a bicycle-type treadle."
