[Milsurplus] R-648/ARR-41 Background History

[Smith]

Thanks to the Milsurplus list I have acquired a ARR-41 HF receiver.
The personal responses and acquisition tips  that I received were very much
appreciated.

I personally have never seen the R-648/ARR-41  installed in an aircraft or
a fixed station anywhere in the USAF/ARMY areas. I have had the opportunity
to look at a lot of aircraft and sites.

There is some mention of the ARR-41  on the web as being used in transport
aircraft and US Navy antisubmarine warfare and maritime patrol aircraft. .
.  I have quoted in this posting   the ARR-41 portion  of Mr. Andreas
Parsch's excellent AN/ listing.

------------"AN/ARR-41 HF Radio Receiver; used in C-47, C-54, C-117, C-119,
C-121, C-130, P-2, P-3A/B, P-5, Z-1
(42...43)" --------------


Does anyone have any personal observations and information on the receiver
that they could pass on to me.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the DOD contracts  etc for the receiver.

Does anyone know of  any Aircraft Radio Operator Associations so that I can
also query them. I have all ready acomplished  the Google/Yahoo search etc.
