[Milsurplus] RE: AN/ARC-21 & AN/ARC-65 (was: Milsurplus] RCA mechanical filter, was Boulevard Receiver)

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

AN/ARC-65 was what we had in our B-52Fs 
at Carswell AFB, TX during the mid-60s when 
I was an EWO on the aluminum overcast. 

I believe the memory drum had storage slots
for 20 memories.  If you wanted to set the
little pegs for Channel 1, you had to select
Channel 11 so that the pegs for Channel 1
would show up under the little door on the
panel.
