Colleagues,
I have a simple question. What was the real channel bandwidth and 
deviation of the AN/ARC-60 radio, the UHF version of the venerable ARC 
Type 12? Was it compatible with the 100 kHz channel spacing of the UHF 
radios of that vintage (eg. the AN/ARC-27 or AN/ARC-34) given the fact 
that the AN/ARC-60's transmitter was crystal controlled, and the 
receiver used a VFO, which had to be manually tuned in using a small crank?
