[Hallicrafters] SX-28 competitors in the 1940's

[Paul DeFayette]

Barry, Gary, et al,

Another of the AR-88 series is the Army Signal Corps version of the SC-88
(R-320/FRC).  It has band in use masking.  Other than that, it is supposed
to be the same as the SC-88.  Mine is a 1949 contract.  I can find very
little information on this receiver.  The tech manual is TM 11-899.  That's
about all I know.  Is there anyone out there with any more knowledge about
this receiver?

Cheers,

Paul DeFayette
