[ARC5] A discussion on AGC.

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Both variants of the AN/ARC-5's take the AGC voltage off of the plate of 
the 12SF7,  The difference is that the NAV receivers use the rectifier diode 
in the 12SR7 and the COMM receivers use the one in the 12SF7.  Why the 
difference, no one alive today knows.
