I have a BC-1158-A somewhere. Haven't looked at it in years.
According to notes in the database, TU-75-A was Middle Marker in BC-400
(RC-20). Anyone know the frequencies of the Inner and Outer Markers?
I don't actually have the TM but from some late 40's Signal Corps FM 21-6 I
have the manual as TM 11-2607 for BC-400-H dated December 1944.
