[ARC5] [Milsurplus] ARB Questions

[Taigh Ramey]

Yes Mike, there are two separate antennas for liaison and command. I guess four actually. Two for the ARC-5. An AN-104 for the VHF side that serves as the mast for a ll of the long wire antennas. The one to left vertical stab is for command LF/MF. The liaison has the fixed wire from the mast to the right vertical stab for MF and the trailing wire for LF. 

And then there is the fixed wire and loop for the BC-433 radio compass,  second AN-104 that holds up the aft end of the ADF wire, fixed wire for the ARN-8 marker beacon (incidentally we need a good ARN-8 if anyone has a lead), two IFF rods, Two APN-1 dipoles and an APS-3 dish...quite the porcupine...
