[Milsurplus] BC-611 MF vs low VHF

[Hue Miller]

This silly question popped into my head: as the BC-611 was
crystal controlled, would it not have been advantageous to
build it to operate on 10-11 meters rather than as low as 3 MHz?
The antenna would have been effectively 10x as long ( at 
frequencies most advantageous to this comparison ) and with
a lot more radiated power. I am leaving out the issue of how
to communicate to armored vehicles. -Hue Miller
