[Milsurplus] Operating BC-1000 & PRC-25 together

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I had to go to the manuals to find even this.  But the BC-1000 is much wider 
band than the other WW-II and Korean War FM sets.  The actual design peak 
deviation is not given in either the Technical Manual or the Repair Manual and 
unlike the other sets, the IF's are not stagger tuned.  But the TM does state 
that the discriminator and AFC lock range is +/- 50 KC.  Which is consistent with 
the 200 KC channel spacing.
