I have a new in box BC-1023A receiver that has the manual with it, 'Technical Order No. 08-10-150' and it states the 
"normal sensitivity" for unit varies between 1500 and 2500 microvolts at 1000cps; (30% modulation). 
Have another one not in box. Anyone interested on these items?

I have been playing with some marker beacon receivers today. 
I found the sensitivity to be low. 

For example, my BC-1023 needs -13 dB signal to activate to out relays. 



I can not find what the specifications for those receivers is ( was ). 

Anyone some info on that ?
