aircraft in the HF, VHF, and UHF bands.
The sampling project manager rode
on the flight deck, which had a more comprehensive communication capability.
Other communication and navigation equipment in the RB~-36 included
two ARC-3 VHF transceivers, one APN-9 Loran receiver, one ARN-6 radio compass, One ARN-14 VHF omnireceiver, one ARN-18 UHF direction-finding receiver, one ARC-27 UHF transceiver, and one APX-6 IFF transponder.
The
ARN-6, ARN-14, ARN-18, and APN-9 units were principally for navigation
purposes.
The ART-13 was capable of transmitting a CW homing signal to a
range of 125 to 150 nmi
(232 to 278 km); this signal was received by
samplers in order to home on Cassidy
(Reference 29, Chapter 8 et seq).
The two B-36H samplers were Nos. 1083 and 1086.

Of these the backup
1083, did not have the ARN-14, ARN-18, and ARC-27.
