[Milsurplus] BC-375

[Tom Norris]

Hmmm, and SRT-14, eh?? I think that is about a 7 to 8 pounds per watt
transmitter! I helped WS4S load one into his pickup, thought it was
going to pop the tires.... He still has it and uses it I think. Not a bad tx
at all. I forget, does it run the 100 watts out of a 4-400? I know whatever
is in it is just loafing along.
