[Milsurplus] RT-45/ARQ-1

I'm not the Mike to whom you addressed the question, of course, but I'll add
a question I have.  The RT-45/ARQ-1 (14 to 50 KHz) jammer is often said to
be intended for use against ground targets.  But one of the most common
German fighter aircraft communications sets of WWII was the FuG 16 VHF AM 
set (38 to 43 MHz).

It seems to me if one is in a bomber there could be real value in jamming
fighters dispatched against you.  What little I know supports considering
this as the intended purpose of the AN/ARQ-1.

In contrast, an aircraft being able to jam German armor or other ground
communications seems to have minimal value.
