[ARC5] SCR-183 Manuals

[WA5CAB--- via ARC5]

That's true.  In general, the connectors at various locations in the GF/RU 
and SCR-A*-183/283 sets are sometimes the same and sometimes not.  For 
example, the Navy used 10- and 11-pin connectors (133 or P-3, and 233 or P204) on 
the receivers (depending upon whether they were for  Liasion or Command 
service) whereas the Signal Corps uses PL-*61 (8-pin).
