Hi Scott, et al,

I flew late model P-2V7s in 1968 with VP-18 out of Roosy Roads PR. We 
had one ARC-38A
and one ARC-94 (618T) in the radio compartment.  There was an ARR-41 
also as HF-3. One
overhead wire and a trailing wire too.

  will look for my old NATOPS manual to see if there is a picture.
