[Boatanchors] BC-375 Xmtr. questions

[cemilton at aol.com]

GM Steve,

The BC-375 was primarily used in aircraft.  Could be a fixed wire 
antenna or a trailing wire one depending on aircraft and use.  The 
"ground" was the frame of the aircraft.  It also used tuning units 
(i.e., modules) depending of frequency range desired.  As far as 
precautions on the antenna wire, "standoff" and "thru" ceramic types 
were used.  As in any situation where RF is present, don't touch the 
wire while transmitting.  You might "google" a search using BC-375 as 
the search phrase.  One of the sites is a reference that shows the 375, 
tuning units, etc. that made up the complete radio set (SCR).  I think 
the ground version was a BC-191.  Same rig.

Always wanted a 375..... looks great with the door open and the tubes 
under load.  Gud luck with yours.

  Hi all:

Would appreciate your kind help on these questions:

1.  What antenna load (range) did it like?
2.  I understand that a single wire 'transmission line' was 
used...correct?
2a..if "yes"...was there a "ground"..and if so...how/where?

3.  That single wire "transmission line" had to radiate?...what 
precautions
were necessary when routing the wire to the antenna?

4.  What kind of antenna was used for the BC-375?

Tnx,
Steve
