[ARC5] Airplane radios in jeeps

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Actually, the G503 site is mainly vehicles, but there are more Jeeps still 
around than anything else.  The installation is done from an SCR-499-A.  I 
have the instructions, if anyone wants to do one.  :-)  It uses two PE-75's 
instead of a PE-95.  One was in the trailer and the other on the front bumper 
of the Jeep.  The only other major electrical components used are the 
BC-610, BC-939 and BC-342.  So CW only.  Apparently intended for the Division 
Headquarters of an Airborne Division, I don't know how many were done.  The 
instructions are dated 26 January 1945.
