[ARC5] OT: AN/ARC-48

[Robert Eleazer]

While I respect David's opinion on all things radio, that ARC-48 looks pretty bland to me.  Like a larger BC-733.

 

As long as the issue of military radio esthetics has been opened up let me list my opinions.

 

ARC-5:  Looks Right

ARC Type 12:  Looks Not Quite Right

BC-348:  The Way a Radio Ought to Look

BC-342:  348's Plainer Older Sister

BC-375:  My Grandparent's Heater

BC-1206:  Almost Too Cute

ART-13:  The Other Way a Radio Ought to Look

APX-6:  Too Cool

ARC-27:  The Other Other Way a Radio Ought to Look

BC-733:  Plain Jane

ARC-44:  Plain But Workmanlike

ARC-48:  Plain Jane's Fatter Sister

RT-70/GRC: The Way a Green Radio Ought to Look

No.19:  Herman Munster Designs a Radio
