[ARC5] GF-11

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Ken,

The manual on GF-11 and RU-16 (the associated receiving set) is NAVAER 
08-5Q-100.  I offer a hard copy reprint for $24.50 plus $3.50 shipping CONUS.

GF-11/RU-16 were used by the Marines.  The sets were installed in tanks, 
halftracks and presumably other 12 volt vehicles.  I don't have any hard 
evidence one way or the other about aircraft installations, but there probably 
were a few.  However GF-12/RU-17 were 24 volt so probably most of them went to 
aircraft.
