[ARC5] BC-450 Control

[Brian Clarke]

Hello Phillip,

As Mike says, the correct remote control for an ARC-5 Rx setup is either the
C-26 / ARC-5 or the C-38 / ARC-5 controller. A friend in Melbourne, Bill,
VK3AQB, has asked me to help liquidate his stock of Command gear. What he
has available is a very good example of the BC-944, the near drop-in
equivalent of the C-38 / ARC-5, except for the nomenclature plate.

Email me if you are interested.

Cheers es 73 de Brian, VK2GCE.

Phillip,

If your AN/ARC-5 display is to be accurate, note that the AN/ARC-5 system
does not use nor have an equivalent to the SCR-274-N BC-450-A.  (The closest
thing would be three C-26/ARC-5 single receiver controls.)  A typical
carrier-based aircraft's AN/ARC-5 three-receiver rack would use a C-38/ARC-5
control for the R-4*/ARR-2 VHF Homing receiver, R-25 to R-27/ARC-5
lock-tuned MF/HF Communications receiver, and the R-28/ARC-5 4-channel VHF
Communications receiver in the MT-65/ARC-5 rack.

The two-transmitter MT-71/ARC-5 rack would contain a T-18 to T-22/ARC-5
MF/HF transmitter and a T-23 or T-126/ARC-5 4-channel VHF transmitter.  The
modulator would be a MD-7/ARC-5 and the control a C-30A/ARC-5.

Typical AN/ARC-5 with AN/ARR-2 installations were quite a bit more capable
and sophisticated (and interesting) than the simple ARA/ATA and SCR-274-N
predecessors of just a three years earlier.
