[ARC5] History and Context of the ARC-5 sets

[mac]

I can relate to that.  I have a restored 522 that I use from time to  
time during our MRCG field days.  Have to readjust the thing for every  
outing even with careful handling.  Can imagine what a hard landing  
must have done to a set of channel settings.
