BLAST FROM
THE PAST
Link to old Blast's
AN/ARC-5, WW2, used as primary radios in most fighter aircraft like
the corsair's, P51's However, almost every aircraft in the inventory
had these as backup systems.
These and the matching transmitters, did the job, there had to be
millions made, because every HAM in the 1950's -60's had at
least one.
The
receivers used a flexible cable, like an old speedometer
cable for remote tuning from the cockpit,
the transmitters were set to frequency before a mission. Non
tunable by the pilot's they put out about
30 watts, using two military (1625 tubes) an 807 tube for
civilians..
What a find, ?? These were actually my elmers
collection, in Kansas, I sold them on ebay for big bucks..
I wish I had a garage full of these !!
