[ARC5] Navy Laison Radios?

[Meir-WF2U]

And then there is photo evidence of ATC/ART-13 with the RAX receivers in
Navy PB4Y2: http://aafradio.org/flightdeck/RAX-1.htm   which looks
interesting.

BTW I also have an ATD/ATD dynamotor/ARB/LM-14 setup - all original, without
the ZB-* which I don't have, on the air almost weekly, sometimes more than
once a week on various old military radio nets. I even have it on AM
sometimes, with good audio reports using the original Navy RS-38 mike.
The ATD must be one of the worse watts per weight ratio transmitters (not
even counting in the dynamotor weight): 40 W out...

There are some indications that the Bendix ATD may have seen a little bit of
liason use, with the ARB being its natural receiver mate.

I've got a NOS ATD/ARB/ZB-3/LM-20 set that I'm fond of, even though I don't
really believe that many ATDs made it to flight status.

Then, there's also evidence that the USN used some USAAF AN/ARC-8
(T-47A/ART-13,
BC-348-*) sets.  IMHO, that's the world's best airborne HF set of the war
and
years afterwards.
