[Milsurplus] Multiple Front End receiver

[Tom Dawson]

Mike,

Years ago, like the late seventies, I had an R-19 and an R-13 in an ARN-30 
rack (I had pushed the two connectors for the converter back into the 
rack-box so the R-19 could fit in the converter slot.  I'd rewired them for 
14 volts and had got some 12 Volt dynamotors and ARN-30 control boxes from 
Fair Radio (Remarked the dial on one for the R-19) .  Had the whole thing in 
my '69 Ford F-100 and used to listen to DCA on the way to and from work, as 
my route took me on I-295 across the River from DCA.  Had tower on one and 
ground on the other.  Best time I ever had with those was being stuck in 
traffic right across the river on a snowy Wednesday before Thanksgiving. 
Lots of traffic due to lots of chaos at DCA.   Almost made the traffic 
worthwhile.

I would like to thank everyone for the ideas.  Right now (although subject
to change at any moment), the optimal path seems to be using my existing
A.R.C. equipment for VHF until I can get in some "real" aircraft radios and
scanners for the UHF ones, although the AN/ARC-27 guard channel receiver
units intended to guard 243.0 MCs that Jim Whartenby mentioned seem a decent
alternative.   They would need to have their front ends perverted to kick
the frequencies up a skosh (100+ MCs in a few cases is still a skosh,
right?) but that's where the fun is ... or so I'm told.

Again, many thanks for the suggestions.

Best regards,
