[Milsurplus] BC348Q

[Al Klase]

Guys,

Interesting and confusing!  I had my 348-C out to take pics 
for Brad's restoration.  Here's what I found.

BC-348-C

Tunes 3.0 to 5.0 MC, 100 turns "lock to lock"
3.5 to 4.0 (80 meters) is 20 turns.
4.9-5.0 is 5 turns
3.5 to 3.6 is 4 turns

BC-348-R
Tunes 3.5 to 6.0 MC, 100 turns "lock to lock"
3.5 to 4.0 is 20 turns.
4.9-5.0 is about 3 turns
3.5 to 3.6 is 5 turns

So it looks like the later sets have better bandspread than 
the -C for 80-meter CW usage.  The -C does have tick marks 
every 20 KC that are absent in the later radios.

Regards,
Al
