[ARC5] Questions that need answers

[John J Mccarty]

There were also commercially made "adapters" (for ham conversions) that have a
phone jack as well as the gain control and mode switch. The ones I have seen use
the switch and knobs off the military control boxes and the flat front plate is
silk screened black. These show up from time to time.

                                      73 and have a good weekend.
