[Milsurplus] BC-230 Transmitter w/ Inexpensive Tubes

[Tim Des]

“Aug 1st: Great stuff David,

Where does one obtain some of these little radios?

They look like great fun.”


For those who wish to follow along with David Stinson at home, I found a
source for the BC-230, BC-430 and the GF-11:   http://www.bwgsurplus.com  Look
under “Military” “Radios and Related”. BWGS seems to have multiple amounts
of each one for $45 each plus shipping. As mentioned before by others,
“these are often found without tubes and coil sets.” That is true here.
However, these pre-ARC-5 rigs are incredible. I marvel at the men whose
shoulders we stand upon.
