[ARC5] Purpose For Scott Receivers

[CARL HUETHER]

I believe the answer Ken is that the RCH was the model installed on USN ships and the SLR was the relabeled version for civilian use.That was done so they didnt become surplus giveaways and were sold as new radios for a normal profit
The 1945 built tanker I was on had 4 RCH's: crews mess, chiefs mess, wardroom, and captains cabin. A RAO-7 was in Radio Central for general listening, mostly on AM. Primary radios were RBA, RBB, and RBC in Radio Central. Back in Emergency Radio there were single RAK, RAL, RBB, RBC, and a TCS-13. Once hams were allowed to operate /MM I had free run of the TCS mostly on 40 CW and a bit later the new URC-32 on SSB, for phone patches and general hamming as permitted.
