John,

There's a photo of the AN/CRW-7 5-channel receiver in JANAP 161.  But 
although the text write-up mentions the RC-186, it isn't covered.  I have a BC-1158-A 
(if I can find it).  However, I have the Operating Instructions for AN/ARW-9 
(a bomb salvo system) which also used the BC-1158 or BC-1158-A and PE-186 or 
PE-186-A.  There are photographs of BC-1158 and PE-186 plus the mounts and 
TU-75 (apparently replaced TU-70) in this manual.
