So, to try to get things back on track, does anyone know for sure what radio gear a just-post-war Avenger would have carried? I would imagine it could be some sort of HF gear. ARC-5 perhaps? ARC-2? (Nah! Too big). I say HF since at the time they were on the ragged edge of being out of radio range, they were a good 400 miles out in the Atlantic. Ken W7EKB
