[ARC5] Questions that need answers

Gordon,

Oops.  My mistake.  You are correct.  I was remembering a local control 
adaptor I once had but forgetting that I finally concluded it must have been 
modified by a depot.  NT-23154, FT-260-A and C-24/ARC-5 have only mode switch and RF 
gain pot.

So that leaves modifying NT-49109, FT-230-A or MX-21/ARC-5 as the option.
