VHF transmitter T-23/ARC-5 and HF transmitter T-20/ARC-5 on rack MT-71/ARC-5. The AN/ARC-5 Command Radio Set is a series of radio receivers, transmitters, and accessories carried aboard U.S. Navy aircraft during World War II and for some years afterward. It is described as "a complete multi-channel radio transmitting and receiving set providing ...

The ARC-5 Pages. This page lists links to various files concerning the AN/ARC-5 and SCR-274N series of receivers and transmitters. 1) A PDF of David Stinson's article on how to get the "ARC-5" transmitters to operate as they were designed to be. MUST reading for anyone contemplating using the ARC-5 transmitters.

The late WWII part of the series was nomenclatured as AN/ARC-5, and together with the earlier variants (Navy ARA/ATA and the Signal Corps SCR-274N), provided the basis for many an amateur's first communications capabilities.

The AN/ARC-5 Command Radio Set is a series of radio receivers, transmitters, and accessories used to provide two-way Morse code and AM radiotelephone communication for U.S. Navy aircraft during World War II and the years following. It was an improvement of the Navy's ARA/ATA command set.

In 1940, the U.S. Navy started installing the equipment as RAT / RAV sets and the U.S. Army Air Corps introduced the equipment as SCR-274-N after May 1940. In 1943, the Joint Army Navy (JAN) AN/ARC-5 was introduced as successor system. Many receivers and transmitters have similar specifications but are not interchangeable.

ARC5 -- Discussion of AN/ARC-5 military radio equipment. General discussion of historical military components of AN/ARC-5, SCR-274N, ARA, ATA and related equipment, primarily from the 1930's, 40's, and 50's.

2021年11月10日 · Navy ATA/ARA - Army SCR-274N - AN/ARC-5 Command Sets Classic World War II Era Communications Equipment. Pristine units, not already modified in some way, should be left as is. Most units available today have been modified from their original 1940s era design. I haven't seen these radios in 40+ years. I thought they had been discarded years ago!

2023年11月16日 · Introduction, the ARC-5 Receiver Series: Per Wikipedia, the term ARC-5 is used to describe three similar (yet different) series of receivers deployed during World War Two. Of these three series, only one series has the "official" ARC-5 nomenclature (the AN/ARC-5series), which was actually the last of the three series to be introduced (in 1943).

Shown below is the entire suite of 8 MF and HF transmitters in the AN/ARC-5 set. Frequency ranges, along with the most common calibration crystal frequencies, are listed below. (Be aware that the SCR-274N and Navy ATA sets had different "standard" crystal frequencies.)

In the historical progression of command sets - from the Navy ARA/ATA, to the SCR-274N, to the AN/ARC-5 - only the ATA and ARC-5 antenna relays always had a switch to choose between local and remote meters.
