Eugene,

I have some of the DC input power connectors for the dynamotor.  I'm down 
to only one of the two needed between the dynamotor and transmitter but 
should be able to locate another one.  The connectors to the remote I either have 
or can locate.

On the receivers, I will not say that the three type receivers you mention 
were never used with the ATD but it would have been unusual circumstances to 
generate a case where they were.  To begin with, the BC-342 is 115 
VAC/60CPS operated.  The ATD was an aircraft transmitter and you wouldn't find that 
supply available in any Naval aircraft of the period.  The BC-312 is DC 
operated, mostly 12 VDC although there were two 24VDC models.  But both it and 
the BC-342 weigh roughly twice as much as your typical aircraft liasion 
receiver.  So except in some emergency ad hoc ground installation, forget those.  
The BC-348 would have been OK weight and supply-wise but it was an AAF set. 
 So forget it.

Anyway, the receivers used with the ATD were the RU (specifically RU-12 or 
RU-19), the RAX, and rarely the ARB.
