Jay,

As Mike said, R-584/MRC-20 was part of AN'MRC-20.  AN/MRC-20 c/o AN/ARC-8 
(w/R-584 instead of a stock BC-348), AN/ARC-3 and AN/ARC-27.  It was a 
talk-to-anything-flying (this was early 50's before ground support aircraft began 
carrying low VHF FM sets) mobile or ground station normally mounted on an M38, M38A1 
or M37.  Included a gasoline powered PE-246 generator.  

The R-584 was converted from either BC-348-Q or BC-348-R.  The receiver can 
be made to work by installing a jumper plug.

Hutch, I finally found the TM this morning while moving some stuff to get at 
something else.  I'll get back on the R-584 manual excerpt after Brent's Open 
House.
