[Milsurplus] Specs for Collins 618P-1 or P-6???

[David Ross]

Tom & the gang -

  Searching for    618P radio    I found:
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~aviation/TD/TD202929.HTM>

  This page shows a pic of an ARC-51, which is a 225-400 MHz AM
transceiver.  Is this what you have?

  I had never heard of the 618P before, but the radio is well known by
it's ARC-51 name.

  Collins seems to reserve the 618 moniker for transceivers, and there
are a lot of 'em, like:
618C = ARC-58 & TRC-75 & 18Z-4 2-30 MHz receiver-exciter
618J = PRC-41 225-400 MHz AM manpack transceiver
618K = PRC-38 20-70 MHz USB/FM manpack transceiver
618M = VHF aircraft band AM transceiver
618P = ARC-51 225-400 MHz AM transceiver
618S = ARC-38 2-25 MHz AM/SSB transceiver
618T = ARC-102 2-30 MHz SSB transceiver
618U = PRC-47 2-12 MHz USB transceiver
618Z = URG-1 2-30 MHz receiver-exciter

  I bet the PRC-66 crosses over to a 618 name also.  Anyone know of any
others?
