[Milsurplus] BC-348-Q questions

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Michael,

I thought initially that it might be, as Mike suggested, R-584/MRC-20.  But 
although it was built from either BC-348-Q or BC-348-R, the photo in the TM 
shows it to have an AN connector to the left of the crystal OUT/IN switch but 
still has its push-post style antenna and ground posts.  It does have a box 
(Squelch & ANL) mounted on the top of the cabinet but the connector on it is 
another AN one.

So keep looking.
