An AN/ARC-3 is my current bench project. Just woke it
up after a couple of years sitting on the shelf, and of
course, it needed some relay contact cleaning. This
set definitely needs to be exercised frequently.

On 2M, it has crystals for 144.25, 144.36 and 144.4
and I'm going through my stash of CR-1s to find some
aircraft frequencies for the receiver.

I've found a few, including the local ATIS channels, and
find that with the broad IF of the receiver, I hear multiple
channels at once.

Transmitter makes 8 Watts on 2M AM.
