[ARC5] For Sale RAT-1 Receiver

[George Babits]

Well, I've got the GO-6 and power supply.  Unfortunately the power supply 
has been converted to 115 and is mighty heavy.  I'd sure like to find a home 
for them though.

Thank you for the additional information Mike. It seems like it sure could 
get confusing fairly fast unless one studies it all for a while. Thanks &

Mike,



Interesting and very rare!  The photos show 14-vdc RAT CBY-46096 
two-receiver rack and one 28-vdc RAT-1 CBY-46108 13.5 to 20 MHz receiver.



The RAT-1 receiving system requires 28-vdc RAT-1 CBY-46110 two-receiver rack 
plus 28-vdc RAT-1 CBY-46109 20 to 27 MHz receiver.



FWIW to readers not familiar with these receivers, the 1939 A.R.C. RAT-1 
13.5 to 27 MHz liaison receiving system provided reception beyond the 13.575 
MHz upper limit of the 1939 A.R.C. RU-12 liaison receiver.  That would match 
the 26.5 MHz upper limit of the 1937 and 1938 G.E. GO-4, -5, -6 liaison 
transmitters.  Then came the 1940 A.R.C. RAV 0.19 to 27 MHz liaison receiver 
system.  These A.R.C. receiving sets were technically and operationally 
inferior to the 1940 G.E. RAX-1 0.2 to 27 MHz liaison receiver system, but 
the first five receivers of the RAV developed to become the ARA command set 
receiving system and later the SCR-274-N and AN/ARC-5.



I wish there was somewhere to see a complete RU-12/RAT-1/GO-4 or RAV/GO-5 or 
RAX-1/GO-6 liaison system, but the components needed for complete sets were 
probably many of them gone forever even before the end of WWII, except for 
RAX-1 and GO-9.
