[Milsurplus] ARC-5 Adapters MX-20

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The large banana pin connectors were made in chassis female (GN-57, GN-58 and 
similar generators have them, as well as PP-327 AC supply) but only in the 
threaded coupling type.  I've never seen a female chassis mini-banana connector 
nor a female chassis push-button retaining type.  The push-button type 
wouldn't be practical as a chassis connector.  Not long enough for the mechanism.

However, the MX-20/ARC-5 (and FT-310-A) does not  have an A.R.C. (mini-banana 
pin) type connector.  It has a standard large banana pin type.  The insert is 
the standard Navy aircraft aux power connector, and was also used on the LM.
