ARC5 has a nice sound to it and command sets have always been refered to as ARC5.

Want proof? What is the name of this group?

Anything that looks remotely like an AN/ARC-5 is referred to as such in the vernacular.

See it all the time on Ebay, only to find out that it's a BC-***.

The AN/ system was valid in WW2 years, but it seems to have been abandoned now; am i right ?

I mean, “ Army – Navy / “ would no longer seem to have any purpose ?

Kind of a pet peeve of mine, and I'm not picking on Leslie (thank you for the picture).

There never was an ARC-5. There was an AN/ARC-5, an SCR-274N, and ATA-ARA. Of course, we all use ARC-5 in a generic term and hopefully the context makes the actual meaning clear....... Going for my first cup of coffee now.....
