[Milsurplus] SCR-245 (Was BC-611 MF vs low VHF)

[Unserviceable but Repairable]

> So, what were they finally used for?   The Green Books indicate the Army 
  bought a lot of them.

I'd sure like to know too.  All I'd seen in Green Books was 245 deliveries
terrible & the WI Guard Cdr. that tried 9m cop car AM xtal-button sets used
that to help his Galvin try-out cause in '40.

Have one '223 here & another's nearby.  One Rauland ~sn 960, other Federal.
Both on Chi '42 contract & to use Wm. Don-z's term, probably just
ordered on intertia.  Like DuMont SCR-178s.  Tho reportedly the Chindik's
found '178s all that'd work in rice paddies.

Don't guess these ever crossed the ocean but were used for training radio
basics - or nothing at all.

Again, we were lucky as &3!! we jumped 1st to 9m xtal control (Galvin)
then right after to 9m xtal-ctl FM (Link)

BTW Hue, legend has it '611 was made on spec by Galvin & Army got the 
wowzers & ordered 'em up.  3-5mc spec was picked by Galvin to hit 
most sets I'll bet

Don't forget the word bet.
