> I was stationed in Germany 1966-69 and while there?I collected several
German nomenclatured ARC-5 pieces. I picked up a XMTR, RCVR and MD
units?that had new dial scales made from brass and calibrated to cover
the full 160M band. There was a dual XMTR mount with a RCVR mount
modified to fit in one side of the XMTR mount.

Rich- do you mean the rig was calibrated for the actual 160m ham band?
Also the 2 rack mod to hold both transmitter and receiver was right out
of
one of the conversion articles. I wonder why the use of such a low freq
for mobile communications. That does however comply with the pre-1945
German predilection for use of LF and MF for vehicle communications.
