[ARC5] Re: [Milsurplus] VHF SCR-274-N

Well, no one seems to have any docs related, or at least they haven't piped 
up, but I'm more inclined to surmise that much the same thing happened as 
apparently happened with the ARA-1/ATA-1.  The project was rolled over into the new 
AN/ARC-5.  Even to the extent that some of at least the BC-950's were either 
converted to or finished as T-23's.  I've had several of those.
