[Milsurplus] ARC-33

[Scott Johnson]

Anyone out there familiar with what has to be the biggest beast of an airborne UHF transceiver ever?  I could really use a T.O., and a back brace.
This is a Bendix unit that looks like it predates the ARC-27, is 50% wider, 50% heavier, and still puts out a measly 8-10 watts from 225.0-399.9 kkCs. I would be it rode on early Buffs.   Real high on my cool meter,however, the smallest module weighs more than an entire ARC-164.
Help!
