[ARC5] AN/ARC-3 ?

[Military Wireless Museum]

Thanks Roberts and Mike  and others.  Glad to know set is WW2, shame to muck up display with post war stuff, hi. 


I have everything save blade antenna and once wx picks up I'll be trying it out with a view to using it on 2Mtrs.

Ben,

The earliest manual date that I have is AN 08-30ARC3-2 Operating Manual dated 20 December, 1944.  So first hardware probably appeared in early or mid 1944.  The matching Maintenance Manual, AN 08-30ARC3-3, was apparently dated 05 June 1945.  The latter was revised at least once when it became AN 16-30ARC3-3 and then again when it became T.O. 12R2-2ARC3-2 (the one that you probably have).  This was revised in 1958 and again in 1959.  I haven't looked it up but along the line coverage was added for AN/ARC-36 and AN/ARC-49 (mainly increases in total channels).  AFAIK, there were no revisions after 1959.

I used to have an ARC-3 receiver painted in black wrinkle, with a 1944 contract date.  Wish I hadn't traded it off; I've never seen another like it.


The ARC-3 was carried in B-29s, at least the later production models.
