[ARC5] eB Item 181264751336 ATA transmitter

[Leslie Smith]

  Hello Carl,
  You may well be correct.
  I rely on other sources - and here my source is Wikipedia.   See
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/ARC-5
  The items in the "command" series of equipment are shown in a table.
   Three columns in the table list the particular "class" of transmitter
   or receiver.

  These are given as ARA-ATA, SCR-274-N and AN/ARC-5.
   This is what I understand.  The designations ARA and ATA are acronyms
   for "aircraft receiving apparatus" or "aircraft reception apparatus"
   (as I understand, but I could be wrong).
   This designation refers to an early system of nomenclature used (as I
   understand) by the US navy to identify a particular type of
   equipment.

   ATA is rather the same - transmitting apparatus.  In other words this
   represents a particular class of apparatus.  The transmitter itself
   is "CCT-52232" and from this I understand a transmitter made by
   Stromberg Carlson, operating between 2.1 and 3.0 MHz. 

   Finally, I understand AN/ARC-5 is a later development of the
   "command" equipment used jointly by both the US (army) Air-Force and
   the Navy.
   
  But all this is only "my suppose".  There are people on this list who
  know about the naming conventions.
  You may well be correct.  I know nothing about Collins equipment.
