[ARC5] which modules?

[J Mcvey via ARC5]

Wow, that a whole lotta boxes! Very good looking radios too. I have some good ones, but those are near pristine. Have yo had them a long time? You don't find them in that condition any more.
What kind of wire are you using for the transmit antenna interface?


I have dual tx and rx racks which I am considering mounting them on a horizontal aluminum  L stock  for "portability". To keep things simple, I think I will drill some holes in the front of the ARC-15 frame that hold the receivers and mount the jacks and control switches there. The right bay had to be modified to a single plug, so there is no real loss in doing a few more "mods".  I'll use the original arc control scheme, but in a much more simplified way. For example, an A/B toggle to select RX/TX "A" or RX/TX "B" and another for RX only RX/TX and off. 


I may opt to build a transmit dynamotor supply that will only support CW. This is getting expensive!

Here's a photo from one of my Hamcom displays
that shows how my personal 1x1 AN/ARC-5 is built.
Much credit to Mike Hanz, without whom it would 
never have gotten done.

The small box in the middle on the bottom is a J-16
with MIC and EARPHONE jacks.  There is a C-26 receiver 
control box, but if the set were set for PHONE only, 
as it usually was in combat aircraft, that also could be deleted
and a J-22 jack box, which has a VOL control, used.  
The CW/PHONE transmit function switch is on the panel
with the Antenna Loading Coil (this is an uncommon
MF variant using the T-17 1.3-2.1 MC Transmitter.
No; I no longer have a T-17 so it ain't for sale LOL).

If you want to see the other half of that display just
for fun, it's at
