[ARC5] Unknown mil radio

[Mike Morrow]

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/ARC-5

The wiki article above has photos at its end of ANARC-5 racks configured for typical single-seat carrier fighter service:

R-4A/ARR-2 VHF homing receiver
R-26/ARC-5 HF command receiver
R-28/ARC-5 VHF command receiver, 4 channel
T-20/ARC-5 HF command transmitter
T-23/ARC-5 VHF command transmitter, 4 channel

That's a lot of capability...way beyond what the earlier ARA/ATA and SCR-274-N 3-receiver/2-transmitter systems provided.  It's an early example of compact integrated avionics.  :-)
