[ARC5] R-2/ARR-3 Receiver

[Phillip Carpenter]

Has anyone on here ever seen a schematic for the WWII RBF-1, CIA-46186 VHF Sonobuoy Receiver?

I’ve been looking for one with no luck. The manual is supposed to be NAVSHIPS 900,293 but I’ve never located a copy.

Any help is appreciated.

If they know where it is, no need for sonobouys. I was never as impressed by our soldiers as when I visited one of our nuclear subs. The character and discipline of the sailors were extraordinary.
