[ARC5] P-47/SCR-522

[Sandy]

My best guess would be the ARC-27 made by Collins Radio.  They were in the 
T-33A trainers too.  (F-80 two seater that uses the British jet engine 
design (Whittle)

The F-86D version which was the radar interceptor used it.  Basic airframe 
design the same except for the radome nose and intake under lower side of 
radome instead of the "open mouth" intake.  The F-86D also had a J-57 engine 
which had an afterburner the F-86 fighter did not have.

The old Douglas B-26 bombers we had before going jets, had the ARC-3 and the 
older SCR-522 radios.  Biggest problem we had with the older SCR-522 was it 
was filled with Micamold PAPER capacitors!  They frequently shorted out. 
They looked like a large "postage stamp" capacitor but were really a paper 
dielectric!  Eventually you had to completely rid the receiver and 
transmitter of the "Micamold" capacitors, drop in some 6AK5's in place of 
the old 9003's to pepup the receiver and they were "OK".

Don't know about the rest of the P-47's but here's some nice Pix of an
SCR-522 in a restored Thunderbolt.
