[Boatanchors] ARC 5 stuff

[Sandy]

Yes.  Our old AT-6 had some ARC-5 stuff still in it, but a lot of it had 
been removed.  Also several of the Douglas B-26's still had a few SCR-274N 
transmitters and receivers, but they were never used unless I played with 
them during radio preflight inspections which we used to do back then.  The 
main radios in the B-26's we had were SCR-522's and ARC-3's on VHF.  Quite a 
few of them had APN-9 loran receivers as well.  I think 4-5 of them also had 
SHORAN receivers used for blind bombing runs, but they were never used to my 
knowledge while I was in the unit.  Or C-47 had the ART-13 and BC-348 which 
I "hammed" on quite a bit during "preflight radio inspections" and also 
airborne flights as well.

73,
