Hi Clare,

I thought maybe I had things reversed.  My collection of these sets (I have all that
I mentioned in my original post, pls about the same number of post-WWII beacon band
receivers)) has been in storage for four years.

It must be the BC-1206-CM that uses the Jones plug, and the BC-1206-CM2 that uses
the phenolic terminal strip.

Thanks,
Mike / KK5F
