[Milsurplus] BC-348 series CORRECTION

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The OP asked (I think) whether or not any AC supplies were built for any of 
the BC-224/348 models during the time that the radios themselves were being 
produced.  The short answer is "no".  In my reply, I said that USAF (which 
makes it 1948 or later) might have bought a few simply to fore-stall claims 
that rumors are that they may have.  I agree that there was no valid reason 
to have done so.  Some of the AN/MRC-xxx implimentations did use modified 
BC-348's.  But conversion to 115 VAC operation wasn't part of the mod.
