[ARC5] A.R.C. Makes a Motorcycle Cop Radio

[scottjohnson1 at cox.net]

I have two ARC branded high band FM PYE transceivers that I pulled from PB4Y airtankers, these were channeled up on USFS frequencies.

Last used in the early eighties.  Control head was a little black unit with two frequencies, volume and squelch that fit in a 3 1/8” instrument cutout.

Radios were slightly modified with 1 ATR unit base plate riveted to the bottom.  Fairly nice 15W radios with a final that looked like an 8233 (can’t remember British number)

Solid state except for final.

PYE, as in those pipe-fitting looking coax connectors?  Hi!!

I was at Aircraft Radio 1973 to 78. Seem to recall that they had a prior short term relationship with PYE. Don't recall seeing any PYE made stuff around then.

Thanks, Tom!

Hi Dave, 

More information below. 

I believe that is a PYE Cambridge AM10AMC (or similar) motorcycle 

radio. See 

https://www.qsl.net/gm8aob/pages_2/mc_cambridge.htm#AM10AMC 

This helps explain the ARC label
