[Milsurplus] Aircraft VHF

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I can't speak to what might have been done in some specific case but in the 
standard SCR-624 and in the DF version, no.  When you separate the transmitter 
and/or the receiver from the selector rack and cabinet you lose channel 
selection and mounting capabilities.  Plus you would have to custom make the 
necessary cables as none were made for operating the BC-624 or BC-625 separate from 
the FT-244 (except no doubt a few for Depot use).

The only place I ever recall seeing loose receivers or transmitters is in 
some conversion articles from the late 40's where the transmitter at least was 
mounted behind a standard 19" rack panel with knobs or maybe it was vernier 
drives on the tuning controls.
