[ARC5] R-13 VHF ARC-5 108-135 MHz

[David Stinson]

 From Ken Corwin.  It discusses the R-13B, which is the later, grey 
"type-12" set (not actually type-12; it's a colloquial "umbrella name," 
like "ARC-5") but the 1948 R-13 with dial was
used similarly.

He sent it to me in 1996, while I was still in Vegas.
My God, I was 36...  sigh...

Hello, Dave-

I have a lot of information on the A.R.C. R-13B and R-32 navcom receivers,
but I am not at all certain how an R-13 with a dial is set up.  If there was
an R-13, the R-13B is at least the third iteration of the series.

You may be interested in the following two paragraphs from the A.R.C. Type
15D Handbook:

"7. USE OF TYPE R-13B VHF RECEIVER AS PART OF STANDARD MILITARY 
INSTALLATIONS.

    "The Type R-13B VHF Receiver of this equipment may be operated in any
stall of any standard military installation of SCR-274N, AN/ARC-5, or
ATA/ARA.  It will be necessary to add an antenna connection and to replace
the Control Unit dial with one calibrated for this VHF Receiver, A.R.C. part
number 12508.

"8. PROVISION FOR SUPPLYING POWER TO AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT.

    "The receptacle on the front of the R-13B Receiver is provided to permit
connection to one or more ARC VHF Transmitters, such as T-11B or T-13A.
High voltage and low voltage power is delivered to such transmitters from
this receptacle; relays in the transmitter operate to switch high voltage
power between transmitter and receiver under the control of the "push to
talk" microphone button.  Transmitter side-tone may also be brought to the
telephone line through this receptacle.  When no transmitter is employed,
terminals A and E of this receptacle must be connected together by the use
of ARC wired plug #11934, normally supplied installed in each Receiver in
order to complete the high-voltage ciorcuit to the Receiver.

    "High voltage dc power (up to 10 ma at aprox. 250 volts) may also be
taken from this receptacle to supply other auxiliary equipment, such as ARC
Marker Beacon Receiver R-20."
..... You must have contacts at radio shops at McCarran.  Those people 
should have
literature on A.R.C. stuff going back a long way.  A.R.C. equipment was used
on light twins, mostly.

Good luck, Dave.
