[ARC5] ARB Questions

[Taigh Ramey]

Here is a shot showing the dual ARB's in our museums PV-2D Harpoon shortly after we put them in. I just attached a couple of tuning shafts on the T's and they aren't properly run yet but you get the idea. This has the T with a manual crank and a tuning shaft on each radio. Here is the link:

Incidentally the technical information for the dual ARB's in the Harpoon don't indicate a capacitor on the antenna terminals. They simply go to the receiver terminal on the ART-13.
