[ARC5] Rack

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Jeep,

The E-17 is Type 15, although I haven't been able to determine what suffix 
letter (later than 15F, though), .  And the left bay WILL accomodate a 
standard Command Set receiver.  Type 12 receivers are the ones powered from the 
front.  I'm looking at the A.R.C. Type 15D Nav Equip manual, which 
specifically says that the A.R.C. R-13B receiver will fit any SCR-274-N, AN/ARC-5 or 
ARA receiver rack.  The right bay, of course, will not accomodate any of the 
rear connector equipped receivers.

The only cross ref information I have found in either the A.R.C. Type 15D 
manual or any of the AN/ARN-30 manuals (A through E) is one note that says 
AN/ARN-30D and E are A.R.C. Type 15F.  The Type 15D manual says that the 
two-place mount used is an E-14.  There was also an E-13B.  All three look 
basically the same.  The AN/ARN-30 (the unlettered model) TM says that AN/ARC-30 
is A.R.C. Type 15C and that R-445/ARN-30 is A.R.C. R-13B.  I have a note 
(source forgotten) in my database that says the original R-13 was a reworked 
R-112/ARC-5 (and painted black) and has a front panel mounted tuning dial and 
plug in box.  AN/ARN-30 also had a third electronic unit called 
Filter-Amplifier AM-609/ARN-30 which looks like Type 12 gear (no rear connector).
