[ARC5] Looks Very Interesting

[Michael A. Bittner]

I have two ARR-2s, one with, and one without, the motor.  We're not talking ARR-2 here.  If the Yardlley Spot Tuner fits on an R-26, it seems to me it should also fit on an R-24.  I think the ARR-1 or ZB-3 output should be tunable by the R-24.  Or is it just a coincidence that both the the YG system and the Yardley have six channels numbered 1 thru 6?  Mike, W6MAB

  It would not fit. The later ARR-2 had some models with a motor to change channels rather than a spline cable.

  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?

    > This is the attempt to autotune the ARC-5. It's called the Yardley Spot tuner. I have the R-26 and R-27 mounted in a dual rack mount. To do this you have to relocate the control connector to the front. The control box for this was experimental and never produced in quantity.

    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...:'(
