It can, and does control three transmitters when desired.  Page 50 in 
_Volume 2_ of AN 08-10-195, "Handbook of Maintenance Instructions for 
AN/ARC-5 Radio Equipment (VHF Components)" covers the operation and 
capabilities of this control box.  Its greatest drawback was simply the 
unreliability of the push button switches, which deficiency it shared 
with the SCR-522 VHF set control box. Its replacement,  the 
C-30-A/ARC-5, reverted to the simple rotary switches used for other 
functions in the other control boxes and the problems went away.  Too 
bad they didn't have DeoxIT back then.  😁
