[ARC5] T17/ARC-5 transmitter--looking for one...

[David Stinson]

Of all the transmitters commonly lumped under "ARC-5"
which were ever in actual production, the two most difficult
to acquire are the *1st-Run* SCR-274N BC-696
and the AN/ARC-5 T-17.   Only example of the early 696 I know
is in my collection in rough shape.  There are quite a few
T-17s around, but they aren't often offered for sale, so are
almost as hard to acquire.  If you want to operate 160 meters,
the ATA  and T-18 2.1-3.0 MC are very easy to rubber-down
and work fine there.
