[Milsurplus] R-32 receiver

[Hubert Miller]

Yes, the modified ones were A.R.C. Type 12. He had some that had not been modified also. I wasn't enough of a VHF enthusiast
to care much either way about the ethics of modifying the VHF sets. I did admire the neatness of the work and this was the first
time i had seen this, so i was impressed by the clever idea.

BTW, i met my friend Greg back around '76 when he was carrying home an RCK he'd bought at the surplus store - - on a city bus.
What an animal.

BTW, if anyone has a 'converted receiver' with the the tuning cap with plates removed to diminish the tuning range, i'm in the
market for one. I would not do this to any unmodified receiver, but i know some of these are out there. I at one time had a
10 meter modified one, but sold it off along with a great number of other 'Command Sets' equipment.

>Hugh,

"ARC-12" is a butchered form of AN/ARC-12, which is a late WW-II and Korean War UHF transmitter-receiver that looks just like the VHF AN/ARC-1, and fits its rack.  The post war mostly civilan MF and VHF sets are A.R.C. Type 12 with a connector in the middle of the front panel.  The Post-War VHF ones that fit the WW-II racks and have a front panel tuning dial are TYPE 15 (and the NAV band one is part of AN/ARN-30 through -30C - I don't know what the COMM model (R-32) was used for).
