[ARC5] Navy Laison Radios?

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

Indeed, the RAX are hard to come by...

So far, I managed to get the low frequency and the high frequency one.  
I never could - so far - get the middle one, nor any accessory. My 2  
sets have no dynamotors either, but at least they're not hacked up.

BTW Jack, did you get my reply to your question about the MT-51C?
And how are you making out with the TA-12 motor?
