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.
