[Milsurplus] BC-348 Marine Radio

[Tom Brent]

While doing a Google search for something this evening I came across a
photo of a BC-348 receiver installed in the radio shack on the freighter
"Madison Lloyd", launched in 1962. Over the years there has been frequent
discussion on this list regarding airborne direction finders converted for
marine use, usually on fishing boats and other coastal craft. In this
instance, the BC-348 is installed on a seagoing freighter in a radio shack
with plenty of modern (for the day) equipment. The BC-348 has obviously
been reworked a bit (repainted and knobs changed) but it still seems odd
that it was being installed along with modern equipment 20+ years after it
was designed.

Here's a link to the photo:

Any comments? Any other instances of this?

Stay tuned.

Tom
