G'day ....  confusion reigned after change of  email address--- we
discovered DSL !... didn't know whether I was subscribed, unsubscribed
, supersized or  circumcised...  Seems I made the  former. --thanks
for the  check.
 The info below  may have been posted in the interim but repeated in
case anyone wanted to  reopen the file .
Cheers
Pete





 G'day....infomation.... maybe the ARC-38A was also produced by
RCA....... However, RCA must have produced their own version, "look
alike"which was labelled  618S-M1 according to the manual.
The only differences were their own design  of the SMO ( stabilised
master oscillator)  which was called the  channeliser and a different
control box.
Nearly  all the internal modules are  the same as the Collins  ARC-38
A as is the  wording/copy in the manual for applicable  modules.
Unfortunately I don't have a radio though...It looks a better
oscillator design  that the makeover from the  ARC-38 that ended up in
the  ARC-38A.
Manual T.O. 12R2-4-6-32 refers.
