Hello again, Tom. I don't exactly know the era, although if I look
carefully enough at my manual it may tell me. If so I will pass that info
on to you.
However, all the ARC-5X is, is a 14 volt version of the R-23/ARC-5, or
"Q" 5er.
I really like those, BTW, for NDB dxing after some suitable non-invasive
modifications.
