[Milsurplus] AN/ARC-8(?) (ART-13B + ARR-15)

[Jim Berry]

I must toss my 2 cents into the discussion.

I was told that the R648/ARR41 was the replacement for the BC-348.
The ART-13 and the R648 combination was used on such Navy patrol
aircraft as the SP-2E.

Somewhere I have seen a picture of those animals on an aircraft.

Anyway, I have an ART-13 and a R648 all hooked up.  I have owned a
couple of BC-348's but they had both been thrashed (ham improved?)
and I felt they were unrestorable piles of junk.  I got rid of them.

The R648 is very much like the R-390, but much less the weight.  It
does have a veeder counter for a dial, dynamotor, and all kinds of
mixer noise.  I do like it though.  It is all original, and has not
been hacked.  Sure, I would like a nice BC-348 instead, but ever
finding one that I can afford that has not been hacked up is not
going to be easy.
