[Milsurplus] ARR-41

[jcoward5452 at aol.com]

Could have been some techie type,(like us!) with time and parts on hand 
and just wanted a shop radio.If I were in that position I certainly 
would have done so and probably gotten permission or even unofficial 
orders from the chief!

That's generally true if the modified unit could still serve in all the 
same
installations that it had served in prior to modification.  An 
AC-powered R-648
could not be.  Unless the power connector was phyically altered to a 
different
type as part of the modification, this franken-R-648 could easily be 
installed
by error in places where the normal R-648 should have been.  That's to 
be
discouraged in the US military services!  It takes work to make stuff
sailor-proof.

There would have to be some sort of official documentation of the 
modification
in the system literature, and at the very least some obvious visible 
indication
of the modification present on the unit to keep it away from places it 
couldn't
go anymore.
