[ARC5] AN/GRC-109 serial number

[Fuqua, William]

Oh, I forgot. I need a desiccanter a GRC-109 as well.
Anyone have one of those as well. I could seal the hole and

Put some silica gel  packs inside, but would like to have original one.

Subject: [ARC5] AN/GRC-109 serial number


Our radio club has an AN/GRC-109 transmitter with a different serial number on the transmitter panel than on the cover. I am putting it up for sale at some point and wonder if the serial number mismatch affects the value. And if so if blank cover plates are available somewhere.

 I noticed that it will produce almost 20 Watts into a dummy load on all frequency ranges.

I personally have a set that I am keeping, and wonder if anyone has any ideas of a VFO  that could be used with it that is a good match. Have a junk TX that I could build a VFO into that would match the set.

 Or I could build one into a one of the high speed keyer boxes. Empty boxes are available on the surplus market.

It should probably be a tube VFO however, I could possibly build a solid state one.

   Just brainstorming here, any ideas?
