[ARC5] BC-222 GOOD PICTURES

WRONG!
 
I had one of these units working in high school. Built a battery box out of 
 plywood to go below it using then available batteries. The rig is a  
modulated oscillator so on 10 meters, one had to be very careful with modulation  
to avoid FMing. However I did get a 5-9 out of Havana, Cuba from the 
parking lot  of my high school in Asheville, NC.  This was back in the 50s when 
ten was  really open.  I could never find anyone to chat with on 6 meters, 
except by  buddy who had a similar rig.
 
The one on the auction site has been modified. The original connector was  
round and acceoted a telephone handset with PTT in the handle. I still have 
my  222 somewhere and some time ago, found a TM for it. There was a lot of  
additional accessories that went with the rig including a wood box and a 
canvas  carrying bag.I do have the original handset and antenna for the rig.
