"I'd like to see documentation showing the interconnection of a -1206
to an SCR-522, to add to my files. Jack Antonio WA7DIA/4"
Jack, somewhere I have the T.O. that was used to remove the SCR-522 and BC-1206 and replace them with the ARC-3 and BC-453 in the late 1940's.
For the Korean War F-51's they mounted the BC-453 way up on top of the ARC-3, up high in those bubble canopies, the most prominent radio installation I have ever seen. The 453 was sitting higher than the pilot! A book I have on Mustangs in Korea has a number of pictures showing that. And for some reason they appear to have painted the ARC-3's black.
I'll look for that mod T.O. and send it to you if I find it.
