[Milsurplus] BC-342...

[Rick Brashear]

What is the technical name for the "snout" on the front of BC-342 
receivers that the control plug goes into?  I've seen it called a 
"snozzel" or something like that, but assumed there is another name.  
Whatever the thing is called I need one.  I just received another BC-342 
an "N" model this time and it has that connector removed and a 4 pin 
Cinch type socket in its place.  I'm sure it is supposed to be like that 
as the mounting perfectly covers the hole and is the same finish as the 
front.  I need the piece for another 342.  Every time I think I 
understand a little about these military radios I get thrown another 
curve.  Too many models!  I am also in need of the cover plate for the 
1st detector/1st RF/2nd RF trimmers along with the cover for the RA-20 
supply.  If anyone happens to have an old 342 parts rig with these 
pieces or some of these pieces on it and would like to get it out of the 
shack, please, let me know off list.

Thanks,
Rick
