[Milsurplus] BC-221 as Outboard CW SSB Detector

[B. Smith]

         The BC-221 is unique and very stable  and can be used for many 
applications. I've posted  some info on using it as a "transceiver" and 
as a VFO and low powered transmitter - No major modifications have to be 
made and its a great way to get the set off of the shelf and into operation.
Happy New Year
