[Milsurplus] Comparison of Navy vs Army Air Corps equipment

[WF2U]

Better yet, I use a SCAF filter at the audio output if the going is rough on
the band on CW. This way there is no need to get into the receiver at all -
the audio filter just plugs in the headset jack. This is what I use with the
simpler WW2 receivers which have no selectivity control.
In general, there is almost nothing I can't hear on the TCS receiver I can
hear on a modern radio.

The same goes for the BC-348.
