[ARC5] USN HF and VHF Capabilities

[Bill KA8VIT]

I can confirm this.



The WW2 Submarine USS COD SS-224 has a SCR522 and a SCR624 which were added in 1944 for Lifeboat/Dumbo duty.



I have attached a PDF of a presentation we have done for a number of years for those interested.

I presume that reflects the fact that even though the ARC-3 was the main VHF set in Korea for the USAF, that there were many C-47, C-54, B-26, and probably even B-29 aircraft that still had SCR-522.  I'd guess that the first F-51's used in Korea, which were former target tugs, squadron hacks, and aircraft in storage still had SCR-522, but the F-51's refurbed and rushed over to Korea were fitted with ARC-3 and BC-453.
