[Milsurplus] BC-375/ARC-2/ART-13

Yes. You are correct: it is difficult to use on CW. And the selectivity is much too wide, even for me. I prefer to use the 50 Hz filter between my ears. I kinda like to keep track of other nearby signals.But the ARC-2 is a bit too broad even for me.And IMHO it is really much too big for what it is.But it IS a very interesting rig.As I remember it, Dave suggested an easily removed mod to increase selectivity in it.I own an almost NIB one here.If I live long enough, I'll get it on the air yet.Ken W7EKBSent via the Samsung Galaxy S21 5G, an AT&T 5G smartphone

The ARC-2 is a very strange beast with its varying IF. It was clearly thought of as a voice radio first, maybe as replacement for Command Sets. It's kind of a hassle to use on CW - there's no "BFO offset".
