[ARC5] Navy LM Use

[John Hutchins]

All -
When you compare a LM  Frequency meter in a Battery case with a BC-221 
in its typical Battery Case there is little size difference;  they are 
about the same size, I know since I have both  in battery cases, in 
ugly, but working condition.  My LM case, is in copper plated steel 
case, while the BC221 AK, is in a simple plywood case.
My 2 cents :-O

Also, the LM was available in a tall battery case like that of the BC-211. I also have an LM in a water tight case  for the TBW. So there are several configurations of both LM and BC-211.
