There is/was an original military AC power supply for the BC-221s AND for
the LM. The LM AC supplies are more common than those for the '221.
I have only ever seen only one of those for the BC-221.
One of the BC-221s I have here had a home-brew power supply which had a
tranformer in it capable of powering at least a 100 watt transmitter. I removed
the power supply and built a "more reasonable" one.
