You might not think the Army SCR-131/ BC-148 loop set, using one #10
and 3 #30 tubes, would still be used in 1940/ 41, but it was, by the Nat'l
Guard and by the US Army in the Philippines. We have photos of the latter,
and i talked to a Nat'l Guard vet about the stateside use. I wouldn't be
surprised to learn the 245 set was used in the same places. I also feel
pretty confident the still flying B-18s at the start of the war never had been
upgraded from the BC-224-A / BC-307, the original 1936 equipment.
