[ARC5] Re-furbishing BC band receivers...

[Mike Everette via ARC5]

The Soviets, and former Eastern Bloc nations, used descendants of the 522 in supersonic jet fighters into the 1980s.  

I've seen a fascinating web site with much info about this but can't find it right now....

 Yes. Thank you, Robert.
 
 I remembered that almost the instant I hit "send" and it was
 too late to take it 
 back. :-)
 
 I had an ARC-1 once and considered it to be one of the
 nicest VHF rigs I had 
 seen up to that point. It was far better than the
 SCR-522....one of which I 
 also had.
 
 Although, of course, the ARC-1 was a much later
 development.
 
 Gotta hand it to the developers of the '522. I suspect they
 were working on 
 "the bleeding edge" of radio capability of the time.
