During the 60s the primary fishing boat comms were done on 2-3 MHz AM.
Somebody was converting SCR 269 (BC 433 rcvr) ADF systems to operate in the
marine band. The control box was beautifully modified with a newly
manufactured tuning dial that had the marine band on it. Jack Antonio very
kindly gave me on of these modified BC 433 control boxes which exactly
matched what I saw as a kid.

Who did these very professional conversions? I saw quite a few of them in
the 1960s.
