Something I thought about when Dave was originally talking about running the
transmitters on reduced voltage was how interesting a liaison system would
be if it used the same receivers as the RAV (at least up to 18 MC) with
associated transmitters running on reduced B+ (Rx dynamotors repurposed?)
feeding a common [modulated] PA with multiple plug in assemblies installed,
one for each Tx.  These would be the same type transmitters as used in the
HF command equipment which would allow commonality between the systems.

Okay, guys, put down the axes.  I never said it was a *good* idea, just
something that ran through my mind.  :-D

Not that much older.  The initial work on the Type K started in 1935 which
wasn't a lot distant from when the BC-AA-191 was born.
