[Milsurplus] BC-348-S

Not especially.  If it were still a -C it would be if not rare at least 
uncommon.  According to the AAFHBK, from 07 August 1942, all aircraft leaving CONUS 
were required to have receiving equipment covering 200-500 KC.  BC-348-H and 
later have this sixth band.  BC-348-S is reportedly BC-348-C modified to add 
the LF/MF band, although the note you mention is possibly the first written 
proof that I've heard of.  The manual on the BC-348-EMOPS doesn't mention this.  
The audio pack was also replaced with the later one which has the Lo-Z output 
tap.

Does anyone know of any other early model that was so upgraded?
