	Gang;


		Pick up a T-23 recently. So I started to look around to
	see what it would take to get it on the air (local radio club is
	looking to start a 2 meter A.M. net as an out growth of it's 6 A.M.
	net also). I assumed that an "upgrade" from ARC-5 H.F.to V.H.F. 
	would just require installing the radios in the rack, changing the
	contol boxes, and running a new cable from the C-30 control box
	to the front of the transmitter to select channels.

		But I started to look at the pin outs, and maybe it's not
	quite that straight forward. The T-23 uses pin 1 along with pin
	7 to bring in H.V. Is this just an added jumper at the rack ?
	Control box C-30 only selects xmitters 2 and 3 ? Does the other
	connector on C-30 select the channels on both the TX and RX via a
	split cable ?

		I guess I'm asking if the H.F. and V.H.F radios set up in
	the same racks, on were they never mixed ? The RX control box looks
	to me that mixing was the idea.
