Using several enhancing tools on the image, I think this is the correct
reading, Dave. The blotch of red ink is misleading, but if you look at
the *outline*, it looks more like a 4 than a 5 to me. It would make
sense for training, as well - the RAX-1 was a standard installation in
the PB4Y-2 - http://aafradio.org/flightdeck/RAX-1.htm - and a mockup of
the radio position with appropriate trainer inputs to the antenna post
would be useful for training new operators. The other thing I find
interesting about the receiver are the cooling slots on the sides near
the top...consistent with a ground based training role in hot climates.
