I would appreciate comments on whether a ZB-3 navigation adapter
would be a realistic match to the ARB receiver. I am contemplating
completing a setup of ARB, ZB-3, and ATB. It may be the navig
adapter never really was matched with the ARB, even tho it can
fasten on top the ARB. From somewhere i got the idea that the
ARB/ATB was used in the Kingfisher ( SOC2 ? )  but i've never
seen any photo demonstrating that. That would be a "potential"
realistic matchup, i am thinking. The other, more common ( i think,
anyway) role for the ARB/ATB, as voice HF radio in the PBYs,
of course did not have the navig adaptor parked on the ARB. IF
it was used, i suppose it would have been parked on one of the
radioman's RU's. Anyway...speculating...
