[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Re: [MRCA] AN/PRC-74 Schematics

I'll not trouble the list with my opinion of Google in general.  Even 
though most of the words could be found in a good dictionary.

TM 11-5820-590-35 is the maintenance manual for AN/PRC-74 and A.  TM 
11-5820-590-35-1 covers AN/PRC-74B & C.  I have a reprint available of the -35-1.  
I have the -35 but no one ever wanted it before and I haven't scanned and 
cleaned it up for reprinting.
