[Milsurplus] ARC-5 Conversion

[Mike Hanz]

I have a couple of NIB ARC-5 racks you can have, Breck - a triple 
receiver and a double transmitter rack.  If you hacksaw them apart you 
can bolt one section from each together and have a nice basis for an SSB 
transceiver - there's a good article on that in QST somewhere, IIRC.  
Basically you use the transmitter for a receiver and the receiver for a 
transmitter but of course there is a lot of fun modification you have to 
do to get them working like that...  I think that approach would be 
neater than just a Q-5er.
