[ARC5] Looks Very Interesting

[Michael A. Bittner]

Couldn't this Yardley gizmo be used on a Broadcast Band ARC-5 with an AN/ARR-1 connected to tune to the six channels of the YG Homing system?

  The original two pole six position switch assembly, true...you had to 
  provide some sort of enclosure for it, it had no markings on it other 
  than channel numbers, and that's not a good strategy for large scale 
  installation...  However, as I mentioned earlier this morning, there is 
  a C-188/ART-13, C-189/ART-13, and C-284/AR shown at 
  http://aafradio.org/flightdeck/box.htm - and the serial numbers for 
  these number in the hundreds.  You can recognize the first two control 
  boxes as designed for the Yardney because they have "Preset Receiver" 
  channels from 1 to 6 shown on the front panel.  The C-284 could 
  reportedly be used with both the Yardney *or* the ARR-15, and they 
  dropped the channel number limitation reminder on the front 
  panel...guess you were supposed to know by now that the Yardney had only 
  six channels.

  That'll work too. :-)

  I have one of those as well...:'(
