Not trying to pick an argument, but if it could be documented that it
was an AN/ARC-1, it would be an interesting data point.

The LBG disappeared in April '43, and I always thought the AN/ARC-1 
didn't see service until late in '43, and then by the Navy.

I did see in print somewhere where it referred to the LBGs command
radio was the radio taken, but I don't remember where I read it.

IF the LBG had VHF, I'd be thinking that it would be the SCR-522,
but in wartime, strange things do happen.

Of course, it seems that when it comes to VHF, who had what, when,
during the war stirs up controversy.
