[ARC5] [Milsurplus] SCR-522

OK but why the choice? Couldn't the switch be in the wrong position by accident, frustrating the pilot at a critical moment?
 Curious,
             Jay

It's a transmit mode switch, Jay.  T is continuously transmit, R is 
eceive only, REM enables the push to talk switch on the microphone or 
nterphone cord.

 If it looks like the one in the second photo at
 ttp://aafradio.org/flightdeck/bendix2.htm then it probably is the
 CR-522 or its British counterpart.
 Merry Christmas,
 Mike

        I am reading a recent book on the British Spitfire, which has a lot
   of cockpit photos. The only radio equipment shown is an oblong 5-button
   box (on/off plus four channels) on the left side of the pilot's seat.
   While I recall the SCR-522 unit itself (whatever the Brit numbers were)
   I don't recall the control. Does that sound like the control for it?
