Yes, I mistakenly wrote "6-pin" because for some goofy reason that's what is
shown on the Fig. 8-55 wiring diagram of AN 16-30ARC5-2. I have complete
two-transmitter, three-receiver SCR-274-N and AN/ARC-5 systems, so I should
have remembered that this was a 5-pin connector.

The AN/ARC-5 12-pin and 18-pin plugs (modulator to transmitter control box)
are also unique, in the sense that they and the equivalent ATA or SCR-274-N
plugs are not interchangable. And they are much much harder to find.

The AN/ARC-5 transmitter racks also have that odd never-used 2-pin A.R.C. 2674
female connector for a remote antenna RF amp indicator.
