[ARC5] RT-427 AN/ARC-30

[Chris Bowne]

It looks like the government tech manual referenced for the RT-427/ARC-39 on the radio nerds site has a typo in the intro paragraph that lists the components of the ARC-39 system.  Perhaps the eBay seller read that and that's how he came up with the incorrect name for his item.  As I noted on my last post,  when you zoom on the nameplate in the EBay images it definitely reads RT-427/ARC-39.  As others have noted, the ARC-30 is a VHF set.
