Getting back to David's question: it is a complicated history and would be a long research project for somebody !
I have a book by E.R. Hall - A Saga of Achievement: published in 1978. It is a history of the RAAF radio comms covering the early days up to the 1970s. Hall was a POW, in Japanese hands for 3 and 1/2 years.
The RAAF had formed many mobile radio units including : MFCU (Mobile Fighter Control Units) , they served up in the islands. The air force was also responsible for RADAR installations ( both ground and air ) and had formed enemy interception units (listening) as well as the training of thousands of WAG aircrew.
