[ARC5] ARC RT-524M

[Scott Johnson]

I have a ARC RT-524M comm radio.  Looks like a typical mid sixties hybrid
aircraft comm radio, tray mounted.  Interesting thing is that it cover
136-149.5 MHz.  Nicely made, nuvistors everywhere, transistor power supply
and modulator, 8156 final.  Makes about 9.5 W.  Works well on our local VHF
AM net.  

 

My question is- Why was this thing made?  I assume the military used in in
liaison aircraft of some sort.  Anyone have a clue?  The manual does not
shed any light on the matter.
