> Hi Andy.

> The AN/ARC-5 comes in too many different "flavors"

> The 274N is a good, simple workhorse radio.
> One- and Two-Transmitter racks are common.
> Three- and Four- TX racks for either set are
> quite scarce.  I know of only a couple of the
> 3-TX racks.
> You could look from now on for an ARC-5
> C-29 control box; one shows-up in Ebay about
> every 2 years.  But BC-451s for the 274N
> come along regularly- several every year.
> The connectors for ARC-5 are much harder
> to acquire as well.
> You could also go ATA/ARA if you're a
> "Navy" kinda guy ;-)
