What radar did the P61 Black Widow use?

Sorry I was just wondering. Did they have the same radar as the Mosquito night fighter or was it a different radar?

I’d need to check, but I’m fairly sure that the Black Widow used the SCR-720 airborne radar, known in the UK as AI Mk X. The AI Mk X was used in later versions of the Mosquito, but earlier Mosquitoes were equipped with various AI sets including Mk IV and Mk VIII.
