[Milsurplus] Unknown Transceiver

[MICHAEL BITTNER]

Upon closer examination, the set in the truck photo appears to be the same as the one in the manual from Radionerds and is a BC-9.  Note the relatively shallow angle at which the angled portions of the loop project from the back of the cabinet.  Note the much steeper angle of the loop attachment slots in the attached photo of the back of a BC-9-A. None of the specs show an actual photo or drawing of the actual antenna for a BC-9-A, only the BC-9.  Mike, W6MAB
