[Milsurplus] Radio designations

Bill,

BC-191 was the 14 volt variant, and was paired with BC-224, not BC-348.  Set 
nomenclature was SCR-187.

Although there were probably ad hoc installations, I can't recall any 
official sets using the BC-375 on the ground.  BC-191 with RA-34 and BC-342 was 
SCR-188-A (SCR-188 used BC-189-A).  BC-191 and BC-312 (12 volt variants) in 
vehicles was SCR-193.  BC-191 and BC-312 (12 volt variants) ground or transportable 
was SCR-177-B (SCR-177-A was BC-191-A and BC-189-A).  BC-191, BC-312 and 
SCR-542 was AN/VRC-1 (vehicular).  In all cases, BC-191 excludes BC-AA-191.

As there were two 24 volt variants of the BC-312, BC-375 and BC-312-(*)X 
could have been used in 24 volt vehicles but I don't know what it would have been 
called.  Maybe SCR-193-(*)X???
