[Milsurplus] ARC-38 control head connectors

[Jim Whartenby]

Don't forget the Collins 18Z-3, aka ARC-58 or TRC-75!  This radio must have been 
introduced mid to late 1955 or early 1956 since it originally was designed 
with the 900 series of silicon transistors from Texas Instruments which were the 
first commercially available, from anyone.

It wouldn't have made a lot of sense for the USN to order "new" AN/ARC-38A sets.
The AN/ARC-38A was a sort of stop-gap USB set from the early 1960s.  By the late
1950s the most-excellent Collins 618T-series was appearing, which the USN 
adopted
as the AN/ARC-94 (618T-2) and the Army as the AN/ARC-102 (618T-3) in the early 
1960s.
