[Milsurplus] looking for BC-223 oerators

Meir,

Rated output would be at rated LV input, which would have been 13.7 or 13.8 
to 14.0, depending upon who built the vehicle.

In comment to another comment, the SCR-245 wasn't an unpopular set in North 
Africa and Italy.  Although the Signal people probably preferred the SCR-193, 
indications are they'd rather have either one in preference to the SCR-506.
