[Milsurplus] Re AN/ARC-27

 ARC-27
 The info re  late  40's design of this one checks with an original
Collins manual dated December 15 1950 #520 9559 00.
 Must've been a bad hairday for whoever put manual together-- mistakes
on  nearly every page corrected by person/persons unknown. Things like
12AT7  described as a pentode. schematic errors. etc.

The AN/ GRC-27 ground station - 100 watts uhf  which  I have here,
shows its manual to be April 1951. The R-278 rx  is  S/N 8. and works
fine..
 The RAAF pensioned these off some time back but only went to the
crusher a  couple of years back. claim apparently to let  them loose
was not in the  national interest.
