[Milsurplus] ARC-4

[Jim Whartenby]

10uV input for 50mW audio output doesn't seem all that bad for a receiver with no RF amplification.  Was this a civilian aviation VHF transceiver drafted into the military early in WW2?  I seem to remember that the ARC-4 was in service before either the ARC-1 or ARC-3, but you know how memory can confuse things!Jim

 Hi,
I am an ARC-4/WE 233 person in recovery.
I pursued it because they were installed on USS Massachusetts, and because they work on the 2m Amateur band.
I used to take mine around to shows and talk between it and my ARC-1.
Read the description of the exercise K4CHE and I did, which revealed the relative  deafness of the ARC-4.
