[Milsurplus] BC-348Q being cheap

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Tim,

I don't have any significant Serial Number data but if yours was built on a 
fiscal 1943 Order (between 01 July 1942 and 30 June 1943), it is not even 
close to being the next to the last one made. From 1941 (calendar), the three 
groups MOP, KLR and JNQ were built more or less concurrently by three 
contractors and one sub-contractor. 

Someone yesterday posted a Q model Order Number ending in DAY-DE. DAY means 
Dayton (Signal Procurement District). All that I can think of for DE to 
mean is 45. If that's correct, the Q would appear to have been the last one 
built.

Yes, the S is a remanufactured C.
