[Milsurplus] RE: BC-348 vs BC-312/342 (was SCR-183)

Mike,

You are correct of course about the weight of the BC-312 and BC-342 versu=
s
the BC-348 (I've lugged some of all three around within the past week). =

However, both the BC-312-HX and -NX ran on 24VDC.

>It's hard to imagine a more inappropriate aircraft receiver than the
super heavy BC-312/342.  How would one adapt the aircraft 24 vdc supply
to power it?  The USAAF apparently required all ETO BC-348s to be models
<
The LF receiving requirement dates from at least as early as Summer 1943.=

It is mentioned in the AAFHBK that I have.
