[ARC5] ARC series RX 4200KHz IF coils

[David Ross]

Bill & the gang -

  Just by the math, I'd guess they're from a 9.1-13.5 MCs RAV.  (Looking
through Tauson's book, the LF/MF/HF Command Sets generally have an IF
freq. that is about .40-.45 times the low end of their tuning range...)

  Pretty unusual for spare parts from such a rare receiver to be showing
up though...  Any other ideas?  Were any of the later A.R.C. products
dual-conversion?

I have: they resemble standard ARC HF RX IF coils in appearance with mica insulators and sockets (6 pins) on the bottom. Stock aluminum screw-on covers (what are these called exactly?). Part numbers 6165 and 6169 in red paint. Have the usual blue dot showing "orientation". There is a paint smear on one of them that might have been the ARC logo at one time. Can we figure out which receiver(s) these were used in? My friend and a regular contributor to this list suggested the RAT/RAV series. Which one? (Though I've never seen RAT/RAV). Thank you, Bill KA3AIS
