A component designed to improve the radar's range was added in 1954. Tests showed the 6B-model had a range of 165 miles (266 km) with an altitude limit of 45,000 feet (14,000 m). A single radar unit with its ancillary electronic equipment required eighty-five freight cars for transport. The
268:. The radar set consisted of two antennae, with one slanted at a 45-degree angle providing the height-finder capability. Designed to detect fighter aircraft at a range of 100 miles (160 km) and a height of up to 16,000 feet (4,900 m), the radar utilized five transmitters operating at 3590: 368: 292:, proving capable of detecting targets at ranges of 84 miles (135 km). The first units of the follow-on AN/CPS-6B, ready for installation by mid-1950, saw fourteen of these assigned within the first permanent 337:
The first letter of the three-letter code denotes the type of platform hosting the electronic device, for instance A=Aircraft, C=Transportable, F=Fixed (land-based), S=Ship-mounted, etc.

The third letter designates the specific intended function or purpose of the device, where G=Fire control, R=Receiving, S=Search, and T=Transmitting, and so on.

It was essentially a stripped-down version of the AN/CPS-6B. Thirteen of these units served within the first permanent Lashup network. 3631: 1616: 1101: 949: 3010: 1621: 1501: 919: 874: 829: 644: 624: 524: 1976: 1656: 1596: 1236: 909: 834: 488: 458: 77: 3660: 3318: 3054: 2177: 2152: 1261: 879: 714: 2612: 2562: 2552: 2420: 1842: 1721: 1641: 1511: 1256: 1116: 984: 979: 929: 346:
