There has been criticism from a couple of group members that
the Wikipedia Lead (the intro) is not accurate, or wasn't accurate
a few hours ago. The Lead currently reads, in its entirety:
"The AN/ARC-5 Command Radio Set is a series of radio receivers,
transmitters, and accessories carried aboard U.S. Navy aircraft
during World War II and for some years after, and provided AM
radiotelephone voice communication. It was an improvement of the
Navy's ARA/ATA command set. Similar units designated SCR-274-N
were used in U.S. Army aircraft. The Army set is based on the
ARA/ATA, not the later AN/ARC-5. The ARA/ATA and SCR-274-N
series are informally referred to as 'ARC-5', despite small differences
that render all three series incompatible. The ARA/ATA and
SCR-274-N had two-way Morse code capability in addition to AM
voice communication."
Rather than suggesting changes to me (which places me in the
position of making decisions), I want you group members to suggest
how it should read.
Might I suggest that you try not to post single sentences, or bits and
pieces here and there. Things will rapidly become very unclear by
doing it that way. Post the entire text as you want it to be, each time,
so we can see how everything looks in context with the adjacent
sentences.
