I have been corrected by Robert Downs, WA5CAB on the
following:
The three-position mode switch on the transmitter control box of at
least some models is labled MCW CW VOICE. The 12J5 in at
least one of the modulators is the tone oscillator, not a speech
amp.
There were two different modulators. One screen-modulated the
finals, the other was a plate modulator.
As I understand it, ARC got rid of the screen modulator rather
early.
Also, I want to make sure you know that the BC-442 antenna relay
WAS keyed. The antenna relay mounted inside the transmitter may
not have been.
