The RCA ARB seems just the right companion for the Bendix ATD in liaison service.  Put a ZB-2 or -3 homing adapter on top and include the essential LM-13 or -14 as the CFI and you get a good picture of early WWII USN aircraft radio technology.  My units are NOS and have nevet been assaulted by ham hackers.

Mike Hanz has some interesting info on radios in USN aircraft, circa December 1942, here:

This document shows several ARB/ATD liaison comb
WRT the PBY-5, the document suggests the 1939 GF-9/RU-14 command set
