[Milsurplus] ARC-33

[Francesco Ledda]

I have the new version of the ASQ-19. It is an ARC-51 with BCB control.  The
control head is similar to the one for the ARC-109.

Regards,

Francesco Ledda

I don't have an answer.  I think I have one of the ARC-33 controls in
storage, and I have an AN/ARC-33 manual somewhere.  I'll have to look for
myself.

(OT Comment:  I'm getting wary of making copies of manuals anymore.  I've
gone to some time and trouble this past year to make copies of six different
tech manuals for six different people, with double-sided pages and one-piece
full-size oversized foldouts made on a special scanner-printer, and sent by
priority mail.  I suggested *only* that the cost of mailing be re-imbursed.
In most cases I've not received even an e-mailed acknowledgement from the
recipient afterwards.  Sad.)

Speaking of oddball UHF sets, what about the early-version AN/ASQ-19 UHF
receiver-transmitters that are showing up on ebay recently?  Open one up and
it appears to be a re-packaged AN/ARC-52 design, using mostly the same
modules.  (Use caution when bidding on anything like this from a well-known
Kissimmee FL ebay seller unless you want to wait four months for
shipment...today I just got my last (and I do mean LAST) item from them.  It
had been paid for in early November!)
