[Milsurplus] [RCA] SRR-13 Article

[George Babits]

I seem to recall some production numbers for the BC-224 and BC-348 on a 
website for the BC-348.  Can't remember te site.  I stumbled onto it looking 
for information on the BC-224.

73,

Okay. A DD-1 or ARC-21, when are you going to see the next one? You don’t 
know? That kind of answers the ‘rarity issue’.

BC-224-C  ( i chose this example because this one does still not have the LF 
band, compared to the flood of later ones that do ) you’ll

see in a year or two or three. BC-224-A, or even BC-224-B, it’s going to be 
a while, you might have to wait ten years or more to see

another one.



I don’t recall any thread or post speculating about numbers produced. I 
think we have actual numbers for a small minority of actual

equipment, if you consider navy equipment also. It’s really hard to guess, 
yes guess about PRC-1 or PRC-5 numbers for example.

You have to guess, i suppose, based loosely on how many owners have 
surfaced, which is a tough call, altho a little less so than

in pre-internet days. ( For the PRC-1 and -5 you can make a semi-intelligent 
guess at least to the correct number of decimal places. )

Brings to mind the Navy CMS radio set, whose serial numbers look like they 
were intended to confuse. What does serial number

“ 25H “ mean ?

The AN/TRC-2, i think i saw the production numbers at 124. Who would have 
thought it would be so low?
