[ARC5] [MRCA] AN/PRC-74 Schematics

[J. Forster]

Robert does a terrific job, and I've bought manuals from him that were
otherwise unobtanium.

The same applies to Dave Henderson of ArtekMedia for all kinds of test gear.

However, there are other people who vacuum up manuals, then make access
damn near impossible. They develop a proprietary interest in stuff that
was public domain. IMO that is not 'a good thing'

YMMV,
