Default FAA "Centers" have primary radar?

On Aug 6, 1:56 am, wrote

Someone mentioned secondary surveillance. This is mode-s. It is also
on 1030/1090Mhz. However, the reply from the transponder is more
detailed. It contains a unique code for each aircraft. The older
transponders simply return the squawk code that was assigned by ATC
and entered by the pilot. Some mode-s can return airspace and
location.

Secondary radar is the term for any transponder mode radar--A, C or S.
