[ARC5] Pre-ARC-5 rigs.

[Kenneth G. Gordon]

OK. So there were two "series" of pre-arc-5 equipments. I mean like the 
BC-230-looking types.

One was, of course, the SCR-182/283, and the other was, I presume, the 
GF.

As I understand it, they LOOK somewhat similar, but the GF was more 
"capable" than the other.

In fact, as I understand it, the GF was used in many smaller Navy aircraft all 
through the war, whereas the SCR-183/283 was "dumped" in favor of the 
SCR-274N series quite early on.

Is there any documentation which clearly compares and details those and 
their differences?

The GF seems to be MUCH more difficult to find than the SCR-183/283.
