[Milsurplus] [Boatanchors] BC-1269 145-600MC RX info or new home?

John,

I think that the connection between the BC-1284 and BC-1269 may be one of 
those pesky errors that years ago crept into the Chesson list (that I also 
put a lot of work into).  The BC-1284 is listed in my database as a preamp for 
the 202 MC SCR-602-A Radar Set.  I have a TB on the BC-1284 around here 
somewhere and think that's where the SCR-602 connection info came from.

I don't have any practical experience with the BC-1269 but quite by 
coincidence, yesterday I acquired the 1955 edition of TM 11-260 on SCR-616 (already 
had the 1944 edition).  The receiver uses an external power supply 
(RA-61-A) and an RC-281 antenna equipment..  Same power supply is used with a couple 
of similar sets that cover different frequency ranges.  So never mind the 
BC-1284.  You should hope the RA-61 turns up in the pile.  :-)

The BC-1269 was the first of three receivers used with SCR-616, the other 
two being BC-1269-A and R-593/GRR.  Differences between them are relatively 
minor.
