Welcome, Bob. The other fellows here are an absolute 
wealth of CORRECT information on ARC-5 gear.

However, I would very strongly advise you to view those 
early articles on surplus gear and their "conversions" to 
ham use as nothing more than curiousities.

They are, quite simply, full of misinformation, inaccurate 
and false understandings of how the equipment works, 
and, in short, are essentially useless.

Although there are far more useful sources of information 
on the web than my own, you may find the couple of 
articles I have posted there which were written by Dave 
Stinson on the proper use of the "ARC-5" transmitter of 
value.

Here is the URL to those:

http://www.mines.uidaho.edu/~glowbugs/arc5pages.htm

I will add links to the more useful sites to that page as soon 
as I can, and after I have received permission to do so from 
the owners of those sites.
