[MRCA] ARC-5 Mobile

[Al Klase]

Hi Mike,

You're quite right.  I'll figure some way to do this at 28 volts.  For 
some reason I was thinking there was a 12-volt version.  I must have 
been thinking of the older command sets.  Gee, I do have the major parts 
of SCR-183, but it might take a lifetime to find all the bits and pieces.
