[ARC5] ARC-5 Mods

[Bob Macklin]

Consider that these receivers were made for a few pilots to communicate with
each other not for a million hams trying to operate in a 100KC segment!

In 1958 I also had a BC-312 or BC-342 as my main receiver. Even it was
difficult to use on the ham bands in those days.
