One always has to be careful with such listings, as interesting as the
one is at the site above.  For example, a quick scan of the site above
shows that it lists an "AN/ARC-15" as a VOR *navigation* set (which
would never have an AN/ARC nomemclature).  The compiler has confused the
commercial A.R.C. Type 15 VOR *navigation* set with a *communications*
set which likely didn't exist.  In fact, the military version of the
A.R.C. Type 15 was the AN/ARN-30(*).

At least they don't confuse the AN/ARC-12 UHF AM set with the commercial
A.R.C Type 12 equipment, as so many other sources tend to do.
