[Milsurplus] Radio designations

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Group,

There are several errors in the Ft. Gordon list that I've spotted and no 
doubt others that I haven't.  I've pointed a couple out to them but they don't 
seem to be interested in corrections so I try to cross-check anything I find 
there.  TM 11-487 (and 487A) agree with TM 11-233 on SCR-188-A that it was the 
BC-342-(*).  Although the 12 volt output of the RA-34 would probably also run the 
BC-312, the receiver and transmitter weren't necessarily co-located.  
SCR-188-A includes Remote Control System RC-47-A for remotely controlling the BC-191.

BTW, RC stands for "Radio Component", not "Remote Control".
