Actually there are three types of male connectors on the AN/ARC-5 transmitter
racks. A 5-pin for the cable to the RE-2 antenna relay unit, a 12-pin for
the cable to the MD-7 modulator and one or more 7-pin for the transmitters
themselves. As the 7-pin is unique to the AN/ARC-5 transmitter racks and the
others are not, I assumed when I read Chuck's post that it's the one that he was
referring to. But I don't have any so didn't reply.
