[Milsurplus] BC-639 Reciever..History?

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Contact Joe Walden, W5JDY, of Norman, OK.  I sold
him my BC639 that I had owned since about 1965.
He was going to go through it.  He works on lots
of old stuff as a hobby in his musical instrument
store.
 
I have copied him on this message!
 
And yes, the BC-640 was the "matching" transmitter.
I know that US Air Force used them and probably the
CAA/FAA as well.  The 640 transmitter is a big and
heavy monster.  Six foot (at least) 19" rack cabinet.

Hi,

Anyone know much about the BC-639?

Would like comments about it as i now have one and
have it apart on the bench for cleanup.

I hear the matching TX was the BC-640, no confirmation.

Also, who used it and what time frame...?

Thanks folks,

Tom -.- -.-. --... .-. -... -
