That's rather presumptuous.

I was trying to help you determine if your units were formerly
SCR-274-N units or AN/ARC-5 units, which was at the core of the
question with which you seemed concerned.

You stated your conclusion that your units had been SCR-274-N units,
when that is quite clearly impossible if the frequency range of
the unit in question was 1.5 to 3.0 MC.  There are no SCR-274-N
receivers for 1.5 to 3.0 MC.  But, perhaps that can be explained
if you yet again had provided incorrect technical information.

I also repeated the suggestion that others had already made about
determining if the unit used a 12SF7 anywhere, which would determine
without ANY ambiguity that it had been an AN/ARC-5 unit.

But, I and others who have responded to you have failed. 

Apparently you are offended by any attempts to guide you to an educated
answer to "Henry's great technical mystery" of whether the units in
question had been SCR-274-N or AN/ARC-5.

One of the purposes of this list is to discuss this type of equipment
and reach CORRECT...I say again, CORRECT...technical or historical
conclusions.  I doubt that I'm the only list member perplexed by your
poorly organized and informed recent postings, and by the difficulty
you seem to be having with this profoundly simple equipment identification
problem.

I am always happy when someone provides any information which corrects
errors in my knowledge, assumptions, or conclusions.  That happens
with some frequency.  I can not apologize for you if you do not share
a similar goal when you participate on this list.
