[ARC5] AN/ARC-3

[Jim Haynes]

The C.A.A. also had a modified ARC-3 set which allowed for 24 crystals.

When I was at Edwards AFB in the early 1960s we used ARC-3 sets with
AC power supplies as ground VHF sets, as we needed VHF and at the time
the military was not allowed to buy any new VHF equipment.  Also there
was sometimes a mission that involved flying to Europe, and for that we
had a suitcase full of ARC-3 crystals - I guess the European countries
were not equipped for military UHF.
