[ARC5] [Milsurplus] B-26 Radio Op Position

[Christopher Bowne]

There used to be a great picture on the Air & Space Museum web Site of the Flak Bait radio op position.  Mike, how is the Flak Bait restoration going down there? Last time I was down there a couple of years ago things were just getting started.  Was not aware that Breck was involved with putting the FB display together.

On my QRZ page is a picture of my command set 2 transmitter and BC-348 system that I built installed in a plywood case with upper shelf section for the modulator transmitters and antenna relay.  There is a transmitter control box inside the lower case to the left of the 348, and also a command set receiver control box and cabling to use 2 command receivers in there instead of the 348.  All the interconnected cabling is there so the whole shebang can be transported for demos and field day type setups, just supply 24V DC power antenna mic key and headsets or speakers.  I tried to emulate the B-26 layout with the modulator and transmitters directly above the 348.
