[Milsurplus] RE: AN/MRC-20 et al

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I've turned up some interesting tidbits.  TM 11-487A (all editions that show 
it) ID the HF receiver as Modified BC-348-Q or BC-348-R, not as R-584/MRC-20 
as the manual on the system, TM 11-692 does.  There are also Maintenance and 
Operating manuals on the actual radio sets that are assigned numbers like TM 
11-692A-1 and -2, B-1 & -2 and C-1 and -2 on AN/ARC-3, AN/ART-13 and AN/ARC-27 
respectively.  I haven't turned up evidence of one on the R-584.  The ones out 
of that list that I have here are all existing AN 16-30's of the same period 
with new covers and front matter.

I also turned up AN/MRC-35A with T-47A and BC-348-Q (only, no -R) listed as 
components.  But haven't found any more details.

This is just idle speculation but I wonder if later they might have changed 
the official nomenclature of the modified BC-348-Q or -R to R-589???
