[ARC5] BC-348

[Scott Robinson]

Folks,

I can't be sure about administrative reasons for no BC band on the 
BC-348, but you'd need two bands Each one would have to get pretty close 
to the 915 KHz IF frequency, and you would have a gap of 100-200 KHz 
around the 915 KHz IF.

All of this would be, as the British say, a bit awkward...

PS--I have a BC348Q.
