[ARC5] Interesting documents

[J Mcvey]

That was an eye opener for me. I had always assumed that the radio modules were grouped together as in the bombers. I was surprised how dispersed they were throughout the aircraft!They made the "radio mechanic" job look like a cakewalk- turn it on , shake a few things around and you're done...kinda stupid...
Also some fighters had VHF and others HF. Why was that? All of a certain squadron had to have the same radios, so they couldn't swap out planes between squadrons?  So much for flexibility...  

I still wonder why the receivers were tuneable but the transmitters were set at a fixed frequency and in this case even inaccessible!
