[Boatanchors] Military CY-146 Radio Tester

Mon, 29 Mar 2004 09:08:12 -0600

Seems like you are right in my memory!  (It's been a LONG time ago!)  
The ARM-1 rings a bell loudly.  I remember we took the 832A's from 
the ARC-3's that wouldn't autotune in that set and used them in the
SCR-522's!
There is bound to be possibly someone in the "Confederate Air Force"
bunch interested in that sort of thing if they are keeping the old VHF
sets operational!  ARC-3 was a good radio for it's day.  Used oddball
crystal holders though!

| Matt,
| 
| CY-146 is actually the nomenclature of the chest.  The nomenclature of the 
| test set, unless I'm having a senior moment this morning, is AN/ARM-1.  The 
| AN/ARC-3 (and it's follow-ons -36 and -49) are not particularly popular sets but 
| every once in a while someone will pop up looking for pieces, either a radio 
| collector or an airplane restorer.
| 
| If no one else speaks up for it, contact me off list.
