That would make sense for later equipment, but i still miss how that would apply to, say, a BC-375, RU, BC-348, SCR-522 and so on.

>I've seen fleet operations where equipment was tied to the specific aircraft.
There were sometimes loaner units for when the regular gear was in the shop but the repaired electronics were always returned to the original aircraft. Part of this was because control heads and wiring would at times be specific to options in the electronics box and sometimes this even prevented loaner units. If a random box were replaced some function might not work right and that could be dangerous or at least annoying and probably result in another service call to try and remedy.
