[ARC5] [BoatAnchors] [armyradios] RU Receiver Series Info and PartsWanted

[aafradio]

Mark, I posted a matrix of various combinations of Navy transmitters and 
receivers at http://aafradio.org/docs/1943-Navy-radio-gear.html

You can see that at least one aircraft, the SBD-3, used the combination 
you have, so you're safe from the purists...:-)
