Actually, according to the AN designation list, P in the middle means  
Radar, not pulsed.
 
An/PPS-15 is a CW radar set, for example. AN/APQ-2 is a CW noise modulated  
radar jammer, as is AN/APT-2, both WWII vintage.
 
Not all radars are pulsed, even as far back as WWII.

The  middle "P" in the AN nomenclature system means "Pulsed" and doesn't  
necessarily imply search or fire control capabilities or high  frequencies.  
You can "pulse" any  frequency.
