[Milsurplus] BC-349 tran-smitter

Not here. I suspect the SCR-260 and BC-349 were built in very small
quantities (perhaps only a few) just for evaluation purposes. 

It also could have been made in respectable quantities, but now is
forgotten like a number of late 1930s sets. For example, how many of us
know what an SCR-240/SCR-261 is? How many people have either the
transmitter or receiver? About the only mention of the things is in the
Command Set history by G. E. White. Several hundred of the things were
indeed produced, and some even saw wartime service.
 
Some of the obscure DF sets also fall into this category. They were indeed
made, but most have seemed to have vaporized.

Your guess is as good as any, until someone digs up some more
information. The SIG-5s I have don't list it.
