[Milsurplus] Fwd: PBY-5A ATD/ARB photo?

[Nick England]

Here is some background. Keep in mind I know zilch about radios installed
in Catalinas.
The message I forwarded is from someone involved in restoring a PBY in
Washington state. They have determined it is a PBY-5A model. They were told
by Jeep K3VHG? That the -5A model had ATD/ARB installed and that at least
one photo in the book Black Cats shows this. Jeep if you are reading this
please speak up.
I am just an imperfect conduit only here because of my navy-radio.com web
site.
Cheers
Nick
