[ARC5] Re: [Milsurplus] ARB receiver

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Meir,

The ARB uses the much more common (at least in terms of the large number of 
different sets that used it) larger size flexible tuning cable.  AN/ARC-5 and 
it's predecessors used a smaller one.  I never came across anything else using 
the small one.

I have a few of the large ones left.  Actually late 50's production with 
FSN's, but out of the bag, you can't tell the difference.

Manual reprint available.
