[Milsurplus] TU-75-A

  Yuppers, the BC-1158

But it's also the module found in duplicate/triplicate in BC-400 
marker-beacon TXs.  One for inner, one (TU-75) for middle, one for 
outer markers.

These marker beacon things all ran @ 75mcs.  Hence, get it, TU-75?

TU-75 runs fm 60-90 mcs, tho.

Pretty, not REALLY, versatile module in this air-nav stuff so few of us
have seen

I bought a new TU-75 fm Lapairow Bros. (Cinti) & put 'er on 6 in '55 
having NO IDEA then how such a NEAT thing might have been used.

I dint care either.

Think SCR808, the RC diddlies* & this late W2 marker-beacon stuff was 
THE home for WW2 815s.  Know may airports used 815s & BC400s right 
thru 10 yrs back & there may be some still perking.

Back to BC-1158.  I rate it as a NEAT hijacking of existing hdw. 
And I think the most frequent use of "ARW (RC) series" things was 
running the 4-cyl 2-stroke McCullough-powered target drones over here.

Any explanation worth doing is worth overdoing.
