OK. Then in that case, I'd consider the rest of your collection. The
SCR-274-N was an Army Air Force set. The AN/ARC-5, although a Joint set and used by
USAF after the War, was primarily procurred by the Navy. It developed from a
follow-on to the ATA/ARA. So I would say that it would be more at home with
an AN/ART-13 and ARB than with a BC-375 and BC-348. In fact, one of the
system diagrams in the AN/ARC-5 maintenance manuals includes the ARB. And it fits
in better with the AN/ARR-2 than does the SCR-274-N.
