[ARC5] R-124 ARC-5

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Dennis,

I've never come across an R-124/ARC-5X nor any mention of it.  And likewise 
for any 14 volt version of the R-24/ARC-5.  Several of of us have or have seen 
the R-148/ARC-5X (the 14 volt version of the R-23) and it is covered in the 
later revisions of the AN/ARC-5 manuals.  Could you post the text complete from 
the nameplate?

Also, on terminology, VLF is 3 to 30 KHz (KC).  Despite Young Bill gigging me 
sometimes when I say never, I'll stick my neck out and say that there were 
never any VLF Command Set receivers built.  The R-23 was LF/MF,  and the R-24 
and R-25 were MF.  The rest were HF or VHF.  If you throw in the early WW-II and 
just pre-war sets (RAT, RAT-1, RAV, ATA/ARA, SCR-274N, ), you get LF through 
VHF sets, but only HF 14 volt ones.
