[Milsurplus] Solid state BC-611, GRC-9, BC-348 ?!

[David Stinson]

Let me add to the kudos, and note that this approach not only preserves
the integrity of the radio (since he makes no permanent changes in the
sets),
but it also will extend the life of the original componants by removing the
stresses
of high voltage.  I think it's outstanding.

restoring BA radios.  Having the battery-life problem is no different today
than when the fully-tubed radios were first fielded and the GI's had to
replace their batts every day or two.

credit for his innovation.  He certainly has reduced the current drain on
the BAs' batts and improved the sets' performance with his SS approach.
Congrats to him for this.
