[ARC5] [Milsurplus] ARB Questions

[J. Forster]

Hi Mike,

Thanks. That's pretty much what I thought. The only place I've seen a
bulkhead mounted "T" like that is the MN-26, for use with the manual loop
and that LOVELY MN-22-A mechanical azimuth indicator.

It seems odd that a Bendix accessory would be in an RCA set kit.

FWIW,

-John
