[Milsurplus] FLASH: McMaster-Carr Selling BC-610-F's

[D C Macdonald]

You will probably need to search on both
TS 24* and TS24*.  Folks leave out the
hyphen in  LOTS  of listings, not just mil
and ham stuff.

Why not use a wild card (*) in your search?  Such as "TS-24*".  It should
return anything with TS-24 as a prefix.
