[R-1051] Six pack attack

[Ray Fantini]

Think that there were a couple different incarnations of the six pack with the A,B and C having the old style transistor six pack and things like the G and H having a modern integrated circuit version of the six pack. Think the H or G receiver that I had used the modern one with the integrated circuits. But some stuff was the same thru the entire product life like the turret and the USB/LSB Audio.
I have not played around with the R-1051 in a couple years but have spent a huge amount of time working with the AN/GRC-106 that although share none of the same components is a surprisingly similar radio. Have to wonder why General Dynamics did not just use the same turret assembly in both radios along with things like the time base assembly.

That is correct. The 6 pac and RF deck are supposed to be interoperable.
I did run into a issue on the 6 pac from an A to a B they are not interoperable as a heads up watch out.
