[MRCA] ARC Type 12 "Packaging"

[Michael Tauson]

Hi, Tim,

 

While it was intended in jest, the postwar ARC equipment in civilian service
was most commonly used with a postwar civilian version of the RS-38.  ARC
sold them as did a number of other companies for use in general aviation
aircraft and, in thinking back, I don’t recall many airplanes I flew that
didn’t have one.  With that, I can’t see any reason an airplane owner might
not use a T-17 aside from not having CAA (FAA’s predecessor) certification.
OTOH, I carried two original RS-38s and a pair of HS-33s in my flight bag,
none of which was certified.  Why two mics?  Because I had them and didn’t
have any other use for them. :-)

 

I’m not sure what the military used but since they were buying the Type 12
equipment as COTS (commercial off the shelf) I wouldn’t doubt ARC managed to
sell them a few mics as well.

 

Ummm 
 the altimeter.  Is it in truth an altimeter or is it one of the
gazillion instrument conversions to a clock?

 

Best regards,

Doh! Thanks Mike, I must have lost my head (and my RS-38 mic)......
I hang out here to learn this kind of stuff, so thanks for the input!

(and may your tent be always upwind of the camels)  ;o)

For shame!  For shame!  A T-17 mic attached to that rig?  That should be a
postwar civilian (i.e., too many holes) RS-38.  I thought everyone knew
that!  ;-)

Nice Mobile!  I apparently discovered ARC Type-12 gear late in my Ham career
but I'm glad I did.  They are fun to play with and they sound great even if
it's only listening to aircraft or the occasional pre-arranged 2 meter Ham
AM contacts. (We play with Type 12's and MAW transceivers out here)
Here's my equivalent - easy to package for mobile, portable
mountain-topping, in the Shack or for display purposes...
