[ARC5] RU/GF and SCR-183/283 coil sets

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Thanks, Dave.  I was going to respond but spent much of the day at the Vet's 
where our family dog (read #2 family member whether you ask me or Susie :-) ) 
had a serious operation.

Dave's correct, except that as it's Navy and JAN only, of course it doesn't 
include anything on SCR-183/283.  SHIPS 242A lists just about every radio the 
Navy built from 1919 through 1945, including at least some experimental under 
commercial nomenclature.  Besides nomenclature  it lists contractor, year of 
(first) contract, power output (transmitters), frequency range(s), and purpose 
or remarks.  Under the Remarks column you may find among other things Ship, 
Marine, Shore, Naval Reserve, Lend Lease, etc.

Unfortunately, it doesn't say what color the nameplates are.  :-)
