That's generally correct.  I've known him for years.  Lives just down the=

road as distances go in Tejas.

BC-228 is part of SCR-203.  Other components were BC-227 Receiver, BC-235=

Control Box, BX-12 Battery Box, GN-35 Generator, etc.  I have a scan of t=
he
manual on it, TM 11-239, dated August 14, 1941.  Covers 2200-3060 KC,
AM/CW/MCW.  Complete set weighs 162 pounds, according to the TM.  Some of=

that is the mule harness, however.
