[Milsurplus] AN/ARC-174?

Re: Collins ARC-174/718U

Curious if anyone is running this radio. Have you guys cabled it all up? Do you run the rockwell version or the collins? Do you run one of the gas discharge control boxes or mechanical version?

I have the manpack version of this. Pix of my 718U-1 below. I have yet to play with mine and yet I am quite enamored with it. When I purchased it a few years ago, seller said it worked but the tuner did not tune. It is on my list for bench time. I started reading more about its lineage and the whole 718/ARC-174 family. I wonder why more people don't install aircraft radios in vehicles? There would seem to be a lot to be gained. Generally small size, light, and remotely controlled.
