[Milsurplus] ARB-ATB

[Mike Hanz]

It attaches to two nut plates in the top of the ATB cover, Hue.  Pretty 
doggone hard to read in that position with some installations because 
the meter faces are horizontal, pointing upwards, which is why I made a 
couple of triangular gusset adapter plates for mine.  That allows the 
meter box to be vertical like the front panel of the ATB.  The process 
at the time was to tune the transmitter on the ground for the mission 
frequency, so the lack of a meter on the aircraft wasn't all that critical.
