Let me add another point: Navy use of the BC-348 included Navy-only plane models besides such as the PB-4Y.
I was told by a former Navy radioman that in 1943 the PBY patrol bombers flying from Patuxent down to Caribbean
on patrol had the RAX, GO-9 equipment replaced with the ART-13, BC-348 pair, which he thought was marvelous
gear. I have no idea why this was done when in other areas of the war, the original Navy gear was retained well
into the late 1940s.
