[ARC5] [Milsurplus] BC-221 Silly Question

[Jay Coward]

Was it easier to procure a new or working unit than to repair a non-working unit?

Strictly speaking, there was never any manual produced on the BC-221.  They 
ll cover Frequency Meter Set SCR-211-(letter model).
There were two editions of TM 11-300 produced that covered more than one 
etter model of SCR-211.  The common 07/20/44 edition that covered all 
roduction models up through SCR-211-AL and one covering SCR-211-A,B,C dated 
2/19/41 that I have never come across a copy of.  Otherwise, throughout the 
ar, 
he SCR-211-(*) Frequency Meter Sets were all issued with either digest 
ized single letter model manuals with TM numbers like TM 11-300-AC, which I 
ave most but not all, of or either unnumbered Instruction Books or numbered 
.O.'s which I have only several of.  The TM's were issued by Army Ground 
orces and the IB's or T.O's were issued by Army Air Forces.  The single model 
anuals contain generally the information in the front of the 1944 TM 11-300 
lus the information specific to the letter model shown on each front cover. 
The only other manual produced that I know of but doubt any copy survives 
s TR 1215-4 dated 06/20/39 which covers SCR-211, the base model with no 
uffix letter.
There was one letter model of SCR-211 produced after the War, SCR-211-AN.  
hange 1 to TM 11-300 dated 02/25/46 applies.

 Hi Pete,
 
 That sounds a lot like the TM 11-300, which is a manual tha covers many
 (all?) of the models, but is a User manual.
 
 If you turn it up, I'd be interested to know if it's something else.
 
 Thanks,
