[ARC5] [Milsurplus] Companions to a BC-312 & a Halli SX-24

[mac]

Michael,

The BC-223 and 191 xmtrs would pair well with your BC-312 as Meir  
mentioned.  The 191 is not really useable on 40M, though, because of  
an initial, rapid  3KC downward frequency drift the first 30 or so  
seconds following key down.  Some downward shift on 75 too but  
tolerable, and almost negligible on 160.  Suspect something similar  
would be experienced with a modified 223.

For commercially built companions to your SX-24, I would add Stancore,  
and Hallicrafters to the list.  Also, since most hams built their own  
transmitters in the late 30s/early 40s you might consider that route  
as well.

Good luck.
