[ARC5] J-17 and J-17A/ARC-5

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Thanks Mike and also for the C-39 "where used". Now how 'bout a where used on the J-17*/ARC-5? I would guess large crewed aircraft only. Heck you need a slew more connectors!  Looks like a modulator mount would secure it or was it a plate?
 Thanks,

Hi Jay, 
 
The RL-9 and AM-40 have somewhat less gain than the RL-5 and RL-7. The switch simply accommodates that difference in gain to produce roughly the same amplifier output level. The other changes to the -A model of the J-17 are described on page 33 of the manual.

I just watched the J-17A/ARC-5 auction on the eplace and was interested in the photoes showing a switch to select RL-9/AM-40/AIC or RL-5/RL-7.From the photos it appears to be switch an r/c circuit.Is this correct and why?
